    Viz at Morrison's Quarry?

    Can anyone who's been to Morrison's Quarry in the last couple of days tell me what the visibility is like? Usually this time of year it turns milky white with about 2 feet viz. Need to know for Saturday checkouts. Thanks

    Tonight it was 10-15 ft on plane down to about 80 then it clears up.

    It isn't as bad as years past. I can remember running into the plane cause it wes so bad.

    What are the rules for Ontario diver's in Quebec now. Are there any restrictions to an Ontario group of divers going to the quarry?

    Hi


    I think your required to pay $5 for some kind of bull **** ticket for each diver so you can dive there.

    Umm, no - it's $10 per diver. And seeing that it's private property, the owners can charge whatever they want for people to use it, so there's no need to involve bovine excreta and thereby show uncouthness. If you want to dive for free, there's always the Rothsay or the Conestoga. Have fun...

    Of course you can always pay
    $80.00 for a seasons pass like I did and never receive it. I'd say thats much more "uncouth". :11:

    I'm not talking about paying to dive in that private quarry, I was told you need to pay a provincial fee for diving anywere in Quebec. I wonder, if true is this just another one of those french being different things.

    No, just another sad example of government butting in a little too much into people's lives. Very few divers in Quebec and surrounding provinces and states want this law.
