Piedmont Diving and Rescue Association. They operate 3 quarries open to the membership and guest only. American Quarry in Salisbury, Robertson Quarry near Yanceyville, and Lake Norman Quarry near Mooresville.

No where near as nice as Bluestone, but if you want to dive a lot, it is cheaper. I have been to Salisbury, it has very little viz below the thermocline. I hear the other two are much better. I hope to find out soon.

If I remember correctly Ryuku and Henry both have one as well, but I could be mistaken.

I just joined this year. And speaking of Grier, I talked to him this afternoon and plan on going to the Lake Norman Quarry with him early Sunday morning.

I just joined the PDRA last week after completing my OW Cert. I have not received my key yet. I'm planning to go to blanche today and sunday. Not sure if my daughter will be willing to go on sunday. She is 15 and has other things to do. If anyone is planning to go on sunday and needs a bive buddy let me know.

We saw the fresh-water jellyfish last weekend as well. They are really cool to watch.
