You've got Martha's quarry just east of Nashville. Dale Hollow lake north of Cookeville has designated dive sites where you can dive through the submerged towns. Loch Low Minn is between Chattanooga and Knoxville, as well as, Philadelphia quarry.

You also have pennyroyal which is in Hopkinsville, Ky about an hour and 15 minutes from Nashville. I believe its up to 140 ft deep, but its very cold down that deep. I went last weekend and registered 42 degrees at 100 ft.
I don't have any friends that scuba dive so send me a pm if you need someone to dive with. I'll go just about anytime.

You've also got the Madison Quarry in Madison AL, about 1.5 hours South of Nashville

In the weekends I dive South Holston Lake which is in Bristol, TN. There are 4 boats that are sunk including a cabin cruiser. The viz is usually between 15'-20' so it is pretty good. If you would ever want to do this PM me I would be glad to go with you sometime.

I was scheduled to go to Martha’s last Saturday and found out they are closed for the next three weeks. I bet they don’t re-open

Dale Hollow is a nice dive. It's a different experience than diving the local quarrys.

Where is Dale Hollow?

Just north of Cookeville, TN on the Ky border. Beautiful lake for any and all water related activities. Skiing, fishing, PWCing, and even SCUBAing!!!
I'm at Hopkinsville all the time (2-3 weekends a month). It's not quite 140ft. Maybe 115- 120 ft max. I've hit 106ft at my deepest there, my buddy hit 110ft. It'll be late this month before I can get there again. If I am, just look me up. I always looking for dive buddies. I usually drive a gray Toyota RAV4 & wear the dry suit seen in my avatar. You can also ask the owners if I'm there & they'll tell you where I usually am.
