Loch Low‑Minn

Loch Low-Minn is an amazing dive location to just blow some bubbles, complete your Open Water Training Dives, or even complete specialty dives. I routinely bring groups of divers up multiple times a year to complete certifications. Alex is a great operator and always goes above and beyond to take care of the divers that come out to see him. You have the paddlefish, bream, catfish, and tons of other things to see under the surface.

Absolutely the best place to dive in Tennessee! Alex is a top notch person and will also fill tanks for you when needed. The diving is great, with clear, cool water.

I was with a group from Rhea's diving services getting re-certified. Our test dives were at Loch Low-Minn. You wouldn't think there would be a lot to see in a quarry, but it was really cool with lots to see.

The owner here is super friendly, and we had some fantastic dives here in the quarry. We dove in September and the water was a pretty comfortable 77°F. At around 30ft there's a sharp thermocline where the temperature drops into the low 60's. We didn't go deeper than that. Visibility was fine. You have to set your expectations for fresh water, and we also came right after Hurricane Helene, which certainly didn't do us any favors. There are some cool things to look at and stuff to swim through to practice your skills. Be sure to go see Sharkie, who is due southwest of the docks near the far side. The coolest sighting here was the paddlefish. We managed to see both of them while we were here, which is our first time ever encountering them!

I was a little skeptical before I headed up to do three of my dives for certification. The colder water was very clear so it was great for some fresh water diving. It's got a lot to be looked at, including a sunken bus and a shark. The drop off toward the center of the quarry is pretty fascinating as well. Granted it was really my first fresh water dive, but it was better diving than my last dive in Puerto Rico
