Still need those directions?
I live very close to there and dive it all the time. There are a few different ways to enter the water including the Super giant stride. When I say super, I mean like, time to do a pre-dive safety check on the way down! Make sure to burp that dry-suit!
Anyway there's really only one exit (walk or crawl out at east end), so planning is important. The quarry has two main dives. One is "the shaft" which is basicly a deep hole. It gets wider as you descend. Bottoms out around 120, but there is one hole that goes to 130. We teach deep diver there sometimes. Therer are caverns and caves so you need to be careful about wandering into unknown areas. There is one huge cavern that you enter at around 80ft swim through and into the main quarry at aroun 40 feet, but for those with adequate training only. On the ledge at the top of the shaft, there is an inverted jeep cherokee to check out during the safety stop.
The main quarry is much larger and offers a more interesting "Junk dive" Add a clay pigeon to the stack for me
Snowmobiles, an old convertable, washing machines and the usual stuff.
Watch out when walking into the quarry area. Listen for gunshots. Seems that the locals like to use this spot for SHOOTIN... Yep everything laying around there has more holes than your local dunkin donuts. Don't worry, they only shoot at people with Jersey plates (just kidding skiers).
To get there from Albany go rte 4 into VT, get off at the "West Rutland" exit (business rte 4 or 4a) left off ramp to lights. You'll see a shopping plaza (in VT thats like 2 stores and a movie theater) on your left. Turn left at the lights (rte 4a west) go about 300 yards (the road curves to the right slightly). Then you come to a red flashing light (kinda a three way). Bear right onto "Marble St. continue about 1 1/2 miles theres a white farmhouse on the left then the parking area for "True blue" is on the right about 500 yards down. Look for the big boulders along the side of the road.
It's a little walk in to the quarry so you may want to bring a small plastic sled to haul your gear although it is doable to just walk in with it on.
SCUBA446, I may have been the instructor you spoke to at the dive centter, not sure. When was that?
Anyway hope this helps. If you are interested in a guide, I may be available. My email is
