Hello Divers!
Let’s go diving!
Our paddlefish have started greeting divers in the shallows already for the season! The upper 10 feet of water has warmed up to about 67 degrees. Below that it’s about 55 degrees until you get to 35 feet. The bottom of the quarry is about 43 degrees. A Drysuit or 7mm suit and hood/gloves are needed.
If you haven’t gone diving yet this season it’s important to note that there is a new entrance into Philips Outdoor Center. You can only get into the quarry by approaching it from the East on East Main Street. There is a right hand turn into the new road created that leads up to the gate. If you are approaching from the West on West Jackson Street you will need to drive past the quarry and make a U-Turn at Bunch Blvd. If you have any questions or need assistance getting into the quarry please call us at the Dive Center! 765-288-8144.
