Dive group in UP State SC?

[Instructor_Tom]

So this past year i moved to Anderson SC from Tampa FL, been trying to find a group of active divers to go have fun with, even tried to get on at a couple of dive shops as an instructor. No luck....

I used to be in the water every other weekend down in FL, either fun diving or teaching. Im looking for folks to go dive with and have fun, maybe even plan some trips down to FL this winter too.

Any takers?

few of us up in greenville, but there's not much local diving around here outside of Jocassee. If you're on facebook there's a group that posts pretty regularly.

Our group is in the Concord area. Wish we could dive more, but we dive when not working. We do a Wilmington trip annually and also Lake Phoenix. Mainly quarry's quick and close by for us. Glad for you to join us if up this way.

Sarge, why would you go to Lake Phoenix when you have 3 PDRA quarries closer?

 

[old sarge]

Vis is not always the best. American and Lake Norman quarry can be 10 ft or less. We always enjoyed going to Rawlings and camping. Always have pretty good vis and the night dive is very good.

Dang old sarge, Anderson is about 2 hours from me in Mt Holly and 2.5 hours to you. Just joking. Inst. Tom we are always here in NC looking for fellow divers and if you make the trip I'll be glad to dive with you. OBTW, I am also looking for others to dive with all the time. Please PM me if you would like to dive together.

That dive group that tbone gave you is probably the most active. I dive at Lake Jocassee/Lake Keowee some thru the week and almost every weekend. Welcome to come join anytime.

Im going to jocasse myself saturday. Im in gastonia not to far from mt holly. Its about a 2 hour drive but i prefer it over the quarries.

I am also in Anderson. We dive just about anywhere every other week or so. My buddies and I plan an annual trip to the springs every year. The next one is the first week in February I believe. We aren't into cave diving yet, but one of the guys wants to make the trip from catfish hotel or hole to manatee springs through the tunnel.

I am also in Anderson. Full Cave, and TDI Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures, and some rebreather experience.
