About Mermet Springs: (From Mermet Springs Website)
Mermet Springs was founded by Glen Faith who discovered this abandoned quarry lake early in his days as a recreational diver. Seeing the potential of the property he made his move by signing a long term lease with the owner and removing tons of scrap and junk from the quarry. Early on, Glen designed the drainage around the 8.5-acre lake to slope away from the water. By doing this the lake remains clean and clear with only rain and spring water feeding the lake. Over the years, Glen continues to update the site with campgrounds facilities, training pavilions and numerous underwater attractions. All revenue generated by Mermet Springs is immediately reinvested into the facility. By doing this, Glen has created a scuba diving facility offering divers an extraordinary opportunity not found anywhere in the Midwest. With crystal-clear water, 100-foot deep underwater cliffs, sunken wrecks and schools of colored, pre-historic looking fish, Mermet Springs is not just another lake in Southern Illinois...it is a "First-Class Diving" site.
