Diving Dutch Springs

Worth a detour
Rating:

Average rating 2.1 / 5.0 (16 votes)

This deep quarry was intentionally flooded to be used as a fresh water diving site. It boasts a sunken helicopter and a fire truck as well as countless submerged platforms and reefs covering around 47 acres.

The best time to dive is between June and September because there is better visibility due to less algae.
