Dived this quarry for the first time on 6/24/2023. Lots to see u/w, even if the quarry is fairly small. Temp was 48 deg at 60 ft. Viz wasn’t bad (40 ft) once you get away from the instruction groups. The surface area was very crowded and if we go again, it will be on a weekday.

Went for a teaching dive with my wife. She’s only dove Caribbean and I was trying to convince her Quarries were equally - but differently - good. I failed. LoL She did not like it.

I wore a 4/3 wet suit with gloves and boots. No hood. She wore Farmer John 6.5, hood, gloves, boots and still got cold around 35-ft deep. I would guess the temperature was around 55-60 down that deep because I wasn’t really that cold.

Visibility was around 35-40 feet even though we got in the water around 1pm and there were A LOT of other divers. Will be going back.
