Willow Grove Schoolhouse, Dale Hollow Lake is a boat accessible fresh water dive site, located in Allons, TN 38541. This dive site has an average rating of 5.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 26-30ft/8-9m. The average visibility is 11-15ft/3-5m.

Dale Hollow’s clear waters make scuba diving a popular pastime. The most popular diving destination is the foundation and remains of the old Willow Grove Schoolhouse. In the silt and mist of times past, the schoolhouse is a lasting reminder of a thriving farm community sacrificed for the creation of Dale Hollow Lake. Also popular spots for divers to explore are Diver’s Rock at the outlet of Sulphur Creek, the springhouse near the Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park, the steep banks of Ashburn Creek, and the cliffs of Pleasant Grove. Divers must display a "Diver Down" flag in the area where they are diving. Boaters should be alert to the "Diver Down" flag and keep a safe distance away.
