We are a scuba diving resort in Athens, TN that is based around a ten acre quarry lake.
Our crystal clear waters are home to the ancient and extraordinary paddlefish, among other aquatic wildlife.
The 2022 open water diving season is now officially over.
We look forward to seeing everyone when we reopen again in May 2023.
Affiliated dive schools will still be able to schedule off-season dry-suit dives on a case-by-case basis.
Call us for more information.
Since coming under new management in the summer of 2014, we have been hard at work improving both our on-site and online amenities.

We are always happy to hear from our fellow divers, and we constantly strive to make your diving experience at Loch Low‑Minn as enjoyable as possible.
We want to remind everyone that Loch Low-Minn is still open for the 2022 open water diving season until the end of the month of October, including the weekend of October 29-30! That means that there are only five weekends left, so don't miss your chance to enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage reflected in the clean and still warm water! Despite the cooler nights, heat is absorbed throughout the summer, so the water will stay pretty much the same temperature throughout the next few of weeks. As an added bonus, the visibility will only improve as the algae disappears! You still have time to dive, sharpen your skills, and try out existing or new gear. We will continue to be open on regular weekends hours from 9am until 6pm (entry closes at 4pm) for the rest of the month. Air & Nitrox fills, as well as other gear for rent, are available.
Unfortunately, we will not have an official underwater pumpkin carving contest this year, but if anyone feels like trying their hand at carving a jack-o'-lantern under the water, feel free to bring a pumpkin and tools to challenge yourself and impress your friends. This opportunity is available any remaining weekend before Halloween!
To save time, you can download, print, and sign the applicable waivers by clicking here, then turn them in upon arrival.
Discover the various points of interest, both in and around the water of the loch.
We asked for items to decorate the bottom of the loch with, and you have stunned us with your generosity. We extend a sincere thank you to everyone that contributed! Because of your kind donations, we can now limit the search to only a few specific items: a motorcycle, a helicopter, or a small plane fuselage. These vehicles can be stripped and sunk in the loch to allow underwater recovery and rescue training. All donations will be sincerely appreciated.
