I'll be in St Louis, Missouri and Lexington, Kentucky in the next week
or two for work. Is there any diving to be had near those locations?
TIA

Lexington has a shop called New Horizons.

http://www.newhorizonsdiving.com/

They usually dive Laurel Lake.

I know that they are having a treasure hunt and pig roast on August
4th at Laurel Lake. If you call the shop they can give you all of the
information. You might ask them about diving Dale Hollow or Cumberland
Lake. Cumberland has a some old towns underwater as does Dale
Hollow.More diving goes on at Dale Hollow these days as Cumberland is
having work done on the Wolf Creek dam and they have severly dropped
the lake levels.
