Comments Natural Springs is a shore accessible fresh water dive site, located at 206 South Washington Street, New Paris, OH 45347. The maximum depth is 36-40ft/11-12m. The average visibility is 11-15ft/3-5m. This dive site provides bathrooms and air fills. Training platforms are available.

Needed to get back into the water after a year without diving, worked on buoyancy and tested out rebuilt regulators.

This was an easy drive from Cincinnati and was good for the intended reason to get wet and test equipment before a scheduled ocean dives in July.

We saw lots of freshwater fish including Bass, Catfish, Bluegill and Carp.
