Raystown DAM Divers

Raystown DAM Divers A group of SCUBA divers dedicated to preserving the history of and diving the Old Raystown Dam. Some are here for the photography, others for the challenge.

We started this page in December 2021 and hope to one day have a full-blown website to tell our story, tell the DAM's story, and explain why we inappropriately capitalize all the DAM time. For now, just know that we are five SCUBA divers, all with vastly different interests. A few are completely immersed in the history, while others barely tolerate the DAM obsession. The one thing uniting us is just wanting to dive the DAM. We've read every page of these books and suggest you do the same:
Jim Remembers, by Jim Filson
Along the Raystown, by Nancy Shedd
Diving Raystown, by John Shaffer

If you or someone you know has documents, photos, videos, or stories about Old Raystown Lake, we're dying to talk to you! Please email or message us!

Just our luck we committed to to explore a wet dam, then find out there’s such thing as a dry dam. That would have been sooo much easier.
