Dive Features: Dream
lake is a 15 acre spring fed rock quarry with an average depth of 25
feet. The deepest point in Dream Lake is a sump hole 18 feet in diameter
and drops to 35 feet in depth. The visibility will vary but generally you
will see 10-15 foot visibility and occasionally up to 25-30 foot. There
are a few small runabouts, a sail boat, a mini bus and a few articles left
by the quarry company. If your lucky you will surprise a paddle fish
during your dive along the south wall. The paddle fish were introduced
into the quarry in October of 2001 and are now 3-4 feet long. You
will also encounter rare fresh water Jelly fish between the months
of July through September. Not to worry though, they are the size of
a quarter and produce no venom. The quarry is teaming with life so each
dive will be interesting. There are
several docks around the Quarry but only one without a set of steps. this
dock is located on the north side next to the Flat Rock river. Each of the docks
have floating ramps for an easy exit out of the water. With the dock is a
shelter, equipped with picnic tables for snacking and rest periods between
dives. You will find the scenery to be rather nice in a peaceful
surrounding. No need to worry about filling
your tank before leaving home, there is a filling station located on the
grounds. There is no rental equipment so check your dive bag before
leaving home. Your non diving friends can swim or cruise
around in a paddle boat or enjoy other campground amenities while you
dive. The water temperature in the summer will vary,
but generally runs between 80 to 85 degrees. |
