It rained when we arrived to scuba so we had to wait out the storm! ⛈️Afterwards, we got to explore the quarry for our intro to scuba class! Very cool and pretty clear. We saw the underwater school bus, motorcycle, and other things! We had a lot of fun - I wish I’d gotten some pictures in the water.

Great dive site. Wonderful visibility and beautiful location. Staff were very friendly and they come down to get your cylinder for refill. There are TONS sunken items to explore and they even have underwater lighthouses that can be used to improve navigation skills. If you sign up before you arrive be sure to print your tickets. We didn’t have access to a printer so we had to go inside to complete the registration. Not an issue but just a heads up if you want to get diving more quickly.

First trip here and had an amazing time this weekend. Have been diving Mermet Springs exclusively prior to this trip. While mermet is a really awesome place to dive as well, the visibility there doesn't even compare to PR. Will definitely be back. The only unfortunate thing was my Mares scuba mask turned up missing over the weekend in between dives.Signed my son up who is stationed at Fort Campbell for his open water cert!

Absolutely loved my experience here. The site is very well maintained, the staff is very friendly, there are lots of things to see underwater. The quarry is very well laid out as well, with easy entrance and exit to the water, ample parking, and enough campground surrounding it. Will absolutely dive again!

We drove in from Virginia Beach to dive some clear, shallow waters and were not disappointed. It was a great day of diving and exploring with my friends! We dove 13 May 2017, Temps at 60ft were low 50s and mid 60s at 20ft; visibility was somewhere around 60Ft. A 5mil suit, gloves and hood were all we needed for near 1 hour bottom times (in the shallow area). I would highly recommend it for skills training, confidence dives and great fun with your camera. We're already planning a trip back next spring with a bigger crew.

Great place to learn to dive.For a quarry, the visibility is good. Latter part of the summer is warm enough just to dive skin's, unless you are going deep.First thermocline is usually around 25'

Great place to start diving. I've only been on the near shore area and drops, but they have plenty of 10' and 20' dive platforms. Drops to 60-90' are close by entry for practicing deep and getting to swim through excavator buckets, sunken boats, sunken vehicles, and near statues. They hold their own dive classes, but also check out Waterdogs Scuba in Clarksville as this is their local training site.

Went to Pennyroyal for our certification dive. Water was warm and visibility was really good. We camped on-site. Electricity, but no hook-up. There's a rough shower room. Family that owns it is very nice and accommodating. They even delivered watermelon slices to the divers! Small dive shop that will rent gear. Lots of cool sunken sites at a wide range of depths. Close to a Walmart and restaurants for any needs.

Great location to train, or have a fun comfortable dive. Little chilly. The set up is well thought out, busy on weekends but worth a dive! Great visibility.

Lovely people, good sights, quality dives. Sometimes, during events, they will have food available. The bathrooms are pretty funny, with those cinderblocks, but I think it is endearing. This one has a decent amount of things to do even for people who don't want to dive too far down into the water. First time I came, the fish were very hungry and would bite ears. Second time I came, they were fine. Just be aware that you may want to cover your ears, just in case.

The quarry was a cool place to go diving. They have a number of things setup to see and there is plenty of fish to look at. The water wasn't the clearest today, but there was a lot of groups in the water which I am sure contributed to that.

For my first dive, after getting my open water certification, this place was amazing. I loved being able to do three different dives and saw different things on each dive. I look forward to diving there again.

As a new diver. This place is very nice outside. Thair are alot of things to explore underwater. The office needs to be just a little bit bigger so people are not standing on top of each other.

Best fresh water diving in the Midwest. I got certified in a quarry in July in Indiana. The surface temp was 83 and the bottom temp was 53. Visibility was about 2". I hated it. Now I spend most of my time in the Caribbean diving. Penny Royal is the closet I have experienced to the Caribbean water. Dove here is September 2021. Visibility was 25 feet plus and the water temp was 83 degrees in the shallow end all the way to depth. We did a night dive and the catfish were abundant. Wish I lived closer. I would be here a few times a month.

Pennyroyal is a great place to dive. There is plenty to see, nice staging area, good camping, and wonderful, friendly staff.

A great site for all levels of scuba diving. From beginner to advanced levels, this quarry has a range of depths ranging from four ,12 and 30 ft depths all the way to 127 at it's deepest. Staff is always friendly and willing to help. Come early as it normally fills up fast.

I had an absolute blast while diving at this location. The crew is incredibly helpful and very kind. I was able to complete 22 dives over many weeks at this location without any problems. They always helped me find a dive buddy and get ready to dive. Dennis is an excellent host that I will never forget, he truly made me feel like family. The overall facility is well run especially with the amount of traffic they receive every weekend. This was a incredible place for me to gain experience on cold water and, at times, low visual diving. I really want to thank the whole crew that keeps this dive site going for affording me such an awesome experience. I hope to dive with y'all in the future.

This is my favorite Quarry for diving. They have a wide variety of submerged items to explore and swim through which makes it interesting and fun. There are ample tables for getting suited up with drying racks for after the dive. Their fill station has both air and Nitrox and they have a small store with all the essentials.The owners are super nice. I highly recommend spending at least two days of diving to fully explore the quarry.
