OFFSETS...




For those of you who loves lakes, and being out doors have you ever tried jumping off cliffs? Those pictures above are from the offsets in Farmington, Missouri also called Mine La Motte. Jumping off cliffs may not seem so safe but there are no boats in the water or anything so all you will really need is some friends and a life jacket.
The Offsets were once used as a mine but now it simply a place for the locals to come and swim or dive. The site is popular not only as a swimming hole and a recreational dive, but cave divers can explore several overhead environments. A C-card is required for recreational divers, and cave divers, too, must show proof of their specialty education !
I have gone off cliffs before but i have never been to this one. A bunch of friends & family are going in a few weeks, i cant wait!
