You're Welcome. Unfortunately I have not but plan to go to both this summer. I was looking at the map to martha's quarry and it has old pump houses and rock/quarry crushing houses that are still under there. That would be pretty cool for a few dives. When I come up that way I will make sure I post something up here in the deep dixie divers forum so maybe we could hook up for a few dives.

Yeah, deffinatly post something up. I don't get to dive nearly as much as I would like. A buddy of mine and I are going to Madison AL in a few weeks. They have a pretty nice quarry. Lots of stuff to look at.

I usually dive the philadelphia tennessee quarry. Its I75 exit 68 I think. Closer to Knoxville by just a little bit than LochLowMinn. Its not as fancy but I can take my family with me as well. They snorkel while I dive. Adventure Outdoors in Knoxville to their OW checkouts there.

Here are directions if you head up there someday

Take your best heading to Nashville, TN then .....

Take I-40 east (toward Knoxville) to Exit 232. Go North (toward Gallatin) on Highway 109. After Crossing railroad tracks (approximately 3.5) miles turn left onto Quarry Loop. Then take the first left, at a white fence, onto Quarry Rd. Turn right at gravel drive with a steel, red and white gate, (just before railroad tracks).

Martha's is approx. 30 min. East of Nashville

Do they rent gear?? If so, I just may join you, if that's ok. I need a BC, reg. set, tank, and weights.

They rent some gear and the fill tanks, but I would rent from this guy. He teaches out there every weekend. Just email him or call him and he will have you set up when you get there. I know for a fact he will be there all day tomm. (saturday) and 1pm-6pm on Sunday.
