Dive-site story
Gray Quarry operates as a dedicated inland dive park in eastern Tennessee, developed specifically for training and recreational open-water diving. The flooded limestone quarry features multiple submerged attractions connected by guideline courses, including sunken boats, aircraft fuselages, vehicles, and suspended training platforms. Rocky sheer walls border portions of the perimeter, giving divers practicing navigation and buoyancy control diverse underwater contours to explore.
