Dive center Mermet Springs Belknap

Mermet Springs is an 8.5-acre quarry dive site and training centre in Belknap, Illinois, United States. The quarry combines scuba training and recreational diving, with submerged attractions at varied depths, including the Boeing 727 used in the film US Marshals, a police car, a houseboat and a fire truck. Multiple training platforms span 5 to 100 feet, and four docks provide walk-in, giant-stride or seated entries; the primary dock has a lift for divers with disabilities. Divers can follow signed routes between attractions, take guided tours or stay on site at tent and RV pitches. Mermet Springs provides scuba training from introductory dives through instructor level, alongside rental equipment, nitrox and equipment repairs. Covered pavilions beside the water accommodate groups and training days.
