Hello Divers!
Fall has arrived! The top 22 feet of water has reached about 65 degrees! The thermocline below that is still quite chilly but the visibility has greatly improved! You should be comfortable with a 7mm a drysuit, if you are going below the thermocline you will need a hood and gloves. The catfish are out and about and there are still plenty of baby fish schooling around the edges of the quarry.
If you haven’t gone diving yet this season it’s important to note that there is still some construction going on at the entrance of the quarry. You cannot enter off of Jackson, you will need to go over to East Washington Street and turn onto North Macedonia Avenue. Look for two orange construction cones and follow the gravel path through the construction site to the front gate of the quarry. If you have any questions or need assistance getting into the quarry please call us at the Dive Center! 765-288-8144.
