Local diving near Pittsburgh, PA?

[Sledge]

I just got a new job near Pittsburgh. I won't start work there for a few weeks but I'm already looking for dive sites. Living in the Michigan Tri-Cities has left me jaded. So much great diving within a few hours drive. Now I'll be a bit more inland. Any recommendation for local quarries or lakes? Maybe some of your favorite wrecks for a recreational diver in Lake Erie? Any info would be useful.

Welcome to the 'burgh! Here is a website that has numerous sites near the Pittsburgh area (mainly quarries).

I've heard good things about an area called Dutch Springs in the eastern part of the state (about a 5 hour drive). I plan on visiting there this summer.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

I don't know how close you are to Lake Erie, but if I was anywhere close I would check out
Welcome to Osprey Charters, Inc. Discover Lake Erie's Best Kept Secret In Shipwreck Diving and Scenic Cruises. Come on and Dive Into History !! , they run an awesome operation.

I don't have an apartment yet but I'm guessing about 2.5 hrs to Erie. So yeah I plan on many trips up there for dive charters
