Dutch Springs contains many interesting artificial reefs for divers to explore. In fact, even the hole itself is man-made - it is an old limestone quarry.

Although all of the land-side facilities have been demolished to make room for warehouses, the quarry itself is still open in a limited way - training dives only.
