QUARRY MAP

We have three submerged vehicles in the quarry.
Local dive rescue teams use the cars for training
and lift them occasionally to new spots. We have
a small (14ft)-runabout fiberglass boat also placed
in the quarry to play on. A small lawn tractor marks
the start of the south wall tour and it ends just of
our small island located in the southwest corner
of the quarry.


We have a training platform (8’ x 16’) submerged at
20 ft; this platform is marked with a white buoy and
is available to anyone wishing to check their skills.
Instructors bringing 4 or more divers dive for free.
Instructors will also be glad to know that the quarry
is only about 30 feet deep, therefore you can let students’
dive with confidence, knowing they are not exceeding
1ATM. Entry/ exit is completed from a wooden dock
with a ladder located on the eastern side of the quarry.
A covered pavilion and gear racks are available, as
well as a couple of picnic tables. There is now a porta-potty onsite.
