Mermet Springs (Near Metropolis, IL)
Let’s start off the open water dive season with a fan favorite, Mermet Springs.
Dive all day at your own schedule on Saturday and do a night dive with the group or if you can only come down Sunday, that great too!
From the the Boeing 737 from the Movie “US Marshalls” to the firetruck and Ambulance, there is certainly no shortage of underwater sights. Covered Pavilions, easy-enter docks and HEATED CHANGING ROOMS! The amenities truly do go on and on but the real draw is the Staff. Working tirelessly and selflessly, the staff of Mermet Springs are incredibly friendly, inviting and ready to respond in an emergency. It’s no wonder Mermet Springs is a local favorite in the midwest.
Note: Check-in with Mermet Staff and ask for the Midwest Scuba / Diver’s Last Resort Pavilion.
