UPDATE: The quarries continue to rise as shown on the attached images from a few months back. I along with a few local Florissant Divers are reaching out to the owner to see if there is an option to dive this. More to follow.

I have been watching this quarry over the past couple years and it looks like the owner is letting it fill even fuller. It appears that the water level has risen at least 20' which makes this a great opportunity to dive. Does anyone have any contacts with Lueke's Hauling as they own the...

What size is the BC?

I have a UK1200 light that I want to convert to LED and have seen someone build one but they did not provided step by step instructions. Has anyone done this and can provide some details on the actual parts used?

I talked to Diane at Y-Kiki and she said that last year a few divers were allowed to dive the quarries. They noted that the South quarry was down to about 120ft and the North one was considerably less but that they were both in the process of filling so the max depth would increase...

Has anyone dove the quarries located at the end of New Halls Ferry in far north St. Louis County as there are two large water filleed quarries there that look nice from pictures on Google Earth? The address is 3009 Douglas Road, Florissant, MO 63034. They look very clear and deep.

We just got back from Bewdina and the work the owners are putting into the place are wonderful. They are really moving forward in an effort to make this a premier place for diving near St. Louis and Springfield IL. If anyone in these areas is looking for a great place to check out stop by and...

I did my open water dives there in 1993. At the time the depth was about 45 feet with poor visibility but this was in late October so that may have played a roll.

I sent an e-mail to the city of Alton and received the following response about the quarry. "The “blue pool” is actually an abandoned rock quarry very close to the Mississippi River . It was always said to be bottomless. A few years ago it was drained and in fact is not very...

I wonder what it would take to get it back to what it once was. Maybe remove the tree and other debris. Any interest?? This sounds like it was a great place years ago with crystal clear water. Perhaps the City of Alton would support our efforts.

I am not sure if it is a quarry or a natural depression possibly from a colapsed cave. Check this image from google. Google Maps

Has anyone dove the Blue Pool which is located Just north of Alton on the River Road? I heard that years ago someone said that it was quite interesting. This was before the floods of the 90's.

Has anyone tried to gain permission to the quarry in Klondike Park off Highway 94 near defiance as I have heard that it could be interesting?

Great. See you there.
