Introduction
by Greg Kent
Located at the Illinois / Wisconsin stateline and just 5 minutes West of Interstate 90, Pearl Lake's 30 acres of clear water offers one of the finest diving and training environments in the Midwest.

From late April through mid October, certified divers come here to enjoy a relaxing day of diving in an undemanding but interesting and enjoyable environment. They come to sharpen their skills after a time out of the water or to share an outing with family members in Pearl's park-like atmosphere. Additionally, the finest professional dive stores and instructors in the Midwest come here to initiate their students to diving at this recreational facility ideally suited to an introduction to the exciting underwater world.

Although the dependably clear water (10' -40' ) and the abundant aquatic life are an attraction to instructors with students, there is something more. Pearl Lake's staff has worked hard to make the student diver's first open water experience as safe, interesting and enjoyable as possible. The same concern has seen to it that the diving professionals who train their students here can do so with minimum effort and maximum safety.

 

A plus for divers, students and experienced alike, is the ease of entry. Unlike most quarries with limited and difficult access, Pearl offers over a dozen entry areas including several capable of accommodating a number of large groups. Additionally, training depths and interesting sites are located just a short swim offshore. In recent years, twelve training platforms have been added to keep students off the bottom and thus maximize visibility. All are located in 20' -25' depths and vary in size from 8'x 8' mesh grid structures up to a 45' flatbed trailer.
