Hi and welcome. Keep working at it. I didn't know if I would like diving becuase I tend to be claustraphobic. However, the pool work went fine and when we finally got in the ocean for our open water portion I was hooked. The first descent in the ocean I was terrified until I saw all the creatures living in the sea!
 
Hey Glbtrekker welcome to the boards. There are some good quarries that are in Knoxville you might be interested in.
 
Always glad to hear of others moving to our area. The lake is close by...it's less than a mile from the center of town and it is used for a variety of recreational opportunities, but mostly fishing. I haven't heard of anybody diving in it though, I suspect the visibility would not be very good. However, there are a number of other areas within a couple hour's drive in which people do dive including two quarries. Since, I don't dive yet, it's hard for me to give you specific information, but there's not a lot in the area for diving.

Anyway, if I can answer any other questions about the area, please let me know and good luck in the job search!

Welcome aboard!
I actually live in Soddy Daisy. You aren't that far from LLM and Philly quarry. I haven't dived at Watts Bar yet, but have been diving in the Tn. River downtown Chattanooga. It isn't too bad, kinda fun. Hang in there, you'll love diving!
