Athens Scuba Park Trip

This is a scuba park that was dreamed up because of a love of scuba diving and clear water!

Along the shore, 9 entry-exit docks launch divers toward 33 attractions that run the quarry-kitsch gamut from the first Greyhound bus that country singer Ray Price toured in, to the Take Two, a triple-deck houseboat once used as a party barge by Clint Eastwood's film crew of The Dirty Dozen.

Airplanes, motorcycles, boats and VWs round out the menu of playful quarry attractions, offering divers hours of enjoyment and underwater photographers a wide variety of unusual backdrops. Trains that occasionally rumble down the nearby railroad tracks send eerie sounds and vibrations reverberating through the lake, adding an air of otherworldliness for divers, especially at night
