Quail Run Diver's Quarry is a spring fed stone quarry located just east of Rolla, Missouri, approx. 1 1/2 hours from St. Charles, offering divers a quick escape to get wet! Typically used as a training facility, there are several training platforms from 15 to 25 feet deep. Divers can explore a sunken speed boat, pay homage to the Christmas tree (with ornaments!) and brave the cold down to the spring that feeds the quarry.

Mermet Springs is an 8.5 acre spring fed stone quarry, located in Southern Illinois. The quarry has 100 foot walls and wooded hills encompassing nearly half of its perimeter. The sheer walls are not only on the top but can be followed to depths of 120 ft. This quarry is devoted to diving and dive training. We have an array of items of interest for all divers. Whether it is our training platforms, 15 - 120 ft. dives, or our many sunken treasures, such as the Boeing 727 airplane used in the movie "U.S. Marshals", you are sure to find something of interest. Snorkeling, kayaking and on site camping for divers and their guests will round out your perfect weekend at Mermet Springs.
