Well, I got an answer back pretty quick when I e-mailed the public affairs office of the East bay parks. They said nope.....it was worth the shot. Kevin Lachapelle

I am interesting in coming up to your park. Since it is a quarry, can I Scuba in the quarry?

So they allow swimming, and they allow boating, but they don't allow scuba?

maybe we should try another office? you know...maybe the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is.......haha

A friend and I dove under the new Folsom Blvd bridge last Saturday afternoon.

Very shallow, around 9 or 10 feet deep. Might be deeper at the other end?

Saw lots of rebar and some other construction trash.
A kids scooter,must have been a wild ride!

Took out some trash too.

There's an instructor on yahoo groups ba_diving that organizes a once a month dive for anyone on the list at shadow cliff. He also has a BBQ. There nothing to see really in the quarry and the muddy bottom is a pain to clean off your gear. But hey its a dive to try once.

I just called the LDS (Captain Aqua's) and was informed that Del Valle was off limits and Shadow Cliff (the quarry off Stanley Blv. which I got mixed up with Del Valle) is only open to instructors with students,but I'm going to be in that neighborhood on Sunday and I'll see if I can get first hand info.
