Meet the KISS Rebreathers dive team
September 15, 2021

Roaring River State Park will host a Meet & Greet event for the public on Saturday, September 25, 7:15 - 8:15 p.m., in the park’s ampitheater.
The event will give interested residents a chance to meet the divers who are currently filming and conducting research on Roaring River Spring. The team will be on hand to display its modern equipment and explain how divers safely navigate the dark underwater cavern. Visitors can expect to learn more about the KISS Dive Team’s research, as well as the amazing discoveries the divers have made below the surface of Roaring River Spring.
Past dive teams from 1979 and 1999 were limited due to bulky traditional scuba equipment, and could descend only 224 feet into the spring before they were stopped by a narrow constriction. The KISS dive team has made history by not only squeezing past the restriction, but by also mapping and filming hundreds of feet beyond what was once considered the “bottom” of the spring.
Roaring River State Park ampitheater is located just south of the CCC Lodge on the road leading to the hatchery, at 12716 Farm Road 2239, Cassville.
For more information, call 417-847-2539.
