New Girl From St. Louis, MO

Hey there everyone! I just came across these forums and glad that they are out there!

I am from St. Louis, Missouri. Yes, I am a landlocked SCUBA diver. No, we don't dive in the Mississippi here.

I love diving and get to the ocean as much as possible. This year I plan on doing some quarry diving that way I am not yearning for the ocean as much. Actually, it will probably make me yearn for it even more.

Hi Ya! & Welcome. I'm a few hours away in Western KY. You may be land locked, but you do have Bonne Terre Mines nearby, about an hour away. A little pricey to dive there, & the water is kind of cool, but you can dive year round in a constant temperature. When things warm up you're also only 4-5 hours away from Mermet Springs. Pennyroyal quarry is probably another 2hrs south of Mermet, near the KY/ TN boarder. I'm sure there are probably other quarries & such closer though. Enjoy your new sport!

Thank you for all the welcomes!

I have dove the Mermet quarries and they are actually pretty nice if you get good visibility. Bonne Terre is one that I am thinking of checking out this year. I have heard some good and bad things about it. Bad being the carrying of the equipment up and down 5 flights of stairs...blah! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind carrying all my equipment but 5 flights is a little much for me.
