I'm stuck in Little Rock, Arkansas over the weekend (Feb 24-25). Does anybody know of any diving activities happening in the local area?

Hey Inspector#2, I was born and raised in Little Rock. Looks like you aren't going to be happy. There are plenty of places to dive in central Arkansas, but the water temp. will be much too cold, unless you're into dry suit diving! That's one of the reasons we moved to Tampa, I can dive the year round. Good Luck.

Hey Bob,
From the huge number of replies you are probably right-I am going to be disappointed. Thanks anyway,

Dave
 
Dave,

Arkansas has some of, if not the best freshwater diving in the States (excluding Florida), Lake Quachita is down by Hot Springs, Greers Ferry is just north of Little Rock.
Had some 25-30 feet of viz at Quachita last summer, but like Bob said, water is cooool this time of year.

Iguana Don,
I found my first "keeper" while diving at Rainbow Rock on Lake Quachita, a Citizen dive watch! I still have it and use it after all these years. My brother in law and I used to camp out on Island 27 and just dive ourselves silly ever weekend. Our only trips ashore were to the dive shop at Brady Mountain for refills. Yeah Arkansas has some great diving, but it is seasonal at best. Talked to a buddy in Hot Springs last week and he said the water temp. at Blakely Mountain Dam (Spillway Landing) was hovering at a cool 49.
