Reviews of Lake Dutch springs

Dutch Springs in Pennsylvania offers a unique inland diving experience. This former quarry has been transformed into a diver's playground, boasting surprisingly good visibility (often exceeding 30 feet) thanks to zebra mussels. While it lacks natural reefs, Dutch Springs compensates with a variety of submerged attractions. Divers can explore sunken airplanes, buses, platforms, and even a Cessna airplane, providing interesting swim-throughs and photo opportunities. The site is well-maintained with convenient facilities, including changing rooms, air fills, and picnic areas. It's a popular training spot, so expect to encounter student divers. The varied depths cater to all experience levels, from beginners to technical divers. However, it's worth noting that Dutch Springs can get crowded, especially on weekends. The lack of natural marine life might not appeal to everyone. Despite this, it's a fantastic freshwater diving location, offering a convenient and enjoyable experience for divers in the Northeast.

one of the most underrated spots i know. the water is so clear and so deep and absolutely amazing. best part was paddle boarding on the water. if you are struggling to pick a spot to go to, pick this!

Such a great place to dive. I came here from NY to get my scuba certification.

Beautiful place, but only if you are scuba diving. NO swimming allowed, unfortunately.

As an instructor this is sometimes my second home. I spend alot of time here. In the past before the water park visibility for divers would stay in the high 50 +most of the year. Now with the park it does decrease a bit but still amazing for a local diving facility. The facilities there are good as long as staff stay up on the cleanliness. Having other things to do now there like the climbing and water park is great to keep my kids excited and having fun while I teach. It is definitely worth a visit or two.
