If you mean Illinois, there's no part that's close to any part of Kentucky. If the friends dive, you should just ask them about local opportunities. If they don't, give us a little better (more precise) description of your destinatio and I'm sure someone can point you to a site.

Actually, the south side of Illinois is bordered by Kentucky.

Found a map that shows Metropolis. It is on the Ohio River at the very southern end of the state. I am up in Chicago, and not very familiar with the south part of the state.

Ok, yes, I am that bored at work and I am itching to go diving this weekend. So, after doing a search for scuba in Metropolis, Illinois, here is the leading candidate, Mermet Springs.

Hey, while you're that close, a trip up to Chester is in order. They have a big bronze statue of Popeye there.

It seems that I'm reallynot familiar with that part of your state either! Wouldn't it be great if MapQuest could take a city or ZIP and a range and give a list of all the dive operations/sites.
