Iowa Corn Fields

[WaltnShar]

I assume this is a rediculous question, but is there anywhere to dive in Iowa other than the rain-soaked corn fields? Is there any reasonable visibility in Rathbun, Red Rock or Sailorville ? Trips to visit family up there would be much more pleasant if I could get away for a while !!

Okoboji.

A dive shop out of Omaha has a quarry by Melvern that you can dive for $10 when they are there.

There is a quarry by Atlantic that has decent (5' to 20') vis @ times.
It is open to divers.

sometimes they have them big steel tanks in the fields under a wind pump. Might be able to blow a bubble or two in there.


Okay not as funny as it sounded when I started typing it.

Hey... after spend a few days with my in-laws, even that would be a welcome relief.

That is the exact reason I discovered disposable ear plugs...

I did my Rescue Diver certification at Okoboji. It was late September, boat traffic can be an issue during the summer.

We're headed to Quail Run Quarry near Malvern, IA on July 28th. I'm a WWW (warm water wuss) so I'll probably stay above the thermocline most of the time.

Depends on which part of the state, up here in the north central area, we have a nice little quarry, or two.
