Long time diver but took a 12ish year hiatus. Just getting back into it. I've been looking at the forum for a couple of months, but am just now getting around to joining. I've found great information here. Hopefully I can contribute.

Welcome to ScubaBoard. There are a number of divers in the region. I see from your profile you're already familiar with Pennyroyal Blue Springs Resort.

Oh, ScubaNashville.com has a private quarry. Marcos was my 1st scuba instructor. They also do group trips (Parrot Island Divers, as I recall); my 1st 4 trips to Bonaire were with them, and it was fun. I have't dove the Nashville Quarry; I'm much closer to Pennyroyal.
I used to hear occasionally of Martha's Quarry; it's been awhile, but if they're not too far, that may be of interest.

The private quarry is only 20 minutes from my house, so it would be very convenient. I've heard about it and know it is privately owned. Thanks for the link. I'll check them out.
I haven't been to Martha's. There was a change of ownership recently and the dive operators almost didn't get their lease renewed. They may not be open next year. We'll see. I've heard no news about what the new owners plan to do with the quarry.
Thanks for reaching out. I'll probably run into you at PennyRoyal/Blue Springs.

Welcome to the forums. Seems like a number of new divers from TN joining the forums in the last week or so -- which is great! Tennessee has a good number of quarries set up for diving.
I also had heard that Martha's Quarry was going to close, but then it ended up opening for this season. Their Facebook page is still up and recently updated, though it seems their website is currently down.
P.S.: You can find some threads about Tennessee and SouthEastern U.S. diving here: South Eastern United States
