Solo Diver’s Comments (Lake Diver Forums):
Pennyroyal
SCUBA Blue Springs is very nice. It is just outside of Hopkinsville,
KY. It has a depth of up to130'. It does tend to stay very cold below
50'. You will need a 7mm suit for deep dives (even in mid summer). The
viz is fair, as it is a bigger quarry than Cerulean. There are many
attractions to see. To name a few there is a helicopter, 1940's fire
truck, bus, motorcycles, cars, cabin cruisers and even a porta- potty
(you never know when nature may call- LOL). The equipment staging area
is nice because it is shaded & has tables at just the right height
that most people of average size can just slip into the BCD! Entry is
from shore (wading) or giant stride from a couple of docks.
