Is the Quabbin Resevoir diveable? I think it would be very interesting since several towns were flooded making it. I looked online and wasn't able to find any real information.

Soggy,
The quabbin is a water supply, correct? That would make me think that their might be some blanket guideline that prohibits diving it. I have no sound evidence of this, however, just gut feeling.
If it is diveable, that would be a blast!!

No diving allowed in the Quabbin. It is a state reservoir, and they have a stupid law...

Correct, there is no diving in the Quabbin due its status as a public water supply. However, within the past couple of years, Chronicle or the local PBS affliate in Boston ran a program in which members of the Massachusetts State Police Underwater Recovery Unit took a camera crew on an underwater tour of some of the more interesting features still remaining from when the area was above water. I only saw a bit of it, but they showed a lot of the old stone structures -- walls, foundations, etc. The State Police patrol the facility and have a barracks there. Unless you've got a connection with the MSP I'd say you're out of luck, Soggy.

My thoughts exactly.
What if the men in the dive team promised to duct tape their p-valves closed?? hehe
well that's very sexest....... like woman dont have to pee every 10 min.
Hey, I'm not sexist. We're not peeing every 10 mins... we're going in the bathroom every 10 mins to b1tch about how much men suck. :bomb:
Back to the thread: It really sucks that it's off limits, but it makes sense, wanting to protect drinking water and such. I wonder if there are places like Lake Mead where a dam has flooded existing towns. That would really be a neat kind of wreck dive.
Edit: to trick auto-bleep software

Now that's a resevoir to dive! This is the largest dam construction ever. Chinese government is relocating entire cities (not villages)
I recall driving in N. NJ once and seeing a road go down to body of water. It was not a boat ramp. It was a closed off road. I think that there are old towns in nj underwater.
