    Does anybody have any up to date info on the quarry? I'm thinking about going there some weekend this month but my search is coming up with some conflicting information, especially about when the place is open. I read somewhere that they're only open during the summer, until September, but that doesn't make much sense because people ice dive there and there's no ice in the summer. One website suggests making reservations. I've read in a couple of places that there's an entrance/site-upkeep fee, but none of the site can agree on what the current fee is. Any info would be appreciated cause it would suck to drive 2.5 hours to get there and not be able to dive.
    Procrastinate now, don't put it off.

    What???

    Paintings by Jean-Louis in the quarry?? Well prints I am assuming. Too cool! I have the absolute pleasure of diving with him almost every week. Amazing diver and friend!

    Can someone clarify if we actually need the Quebec card to dive Morrisons? I know a few of us would really like to go up, but disagree on having to pay to prove we can dive. Any factual info would be great
    Let everything else in life go and just live to dive another day

    My FQAS card was never asked there, just my cert number. But you need it to dive anywhere in Québec... never saw a diving police yet...

    To oreocookie, you can call Evelyn Morrisson at 819-459-3260. It should be open and it's 10 bucks.
