This is the local dive site for divers in Northern Virginia. It is an inland fresh water lake that was formed from a flooded quarry. Various ships, air planes, and other structures have been sunk for diver's use. Local dive shops conduct the whole gamut of training here. You must have a c-card to get in, so there are no fishermen, boats, or snorkelers.
