Actually, divers cannot currently use the Quarry. It is closed.
The past dive operator, Rock Divers, vacated the premise in fall 2005. Since then the city has traded the land to the water board for other land. The water board plans to use the quarry as an emergency water source instead of having to purchase water from the city of Huntsville.
So currently the property is not open for diving. However, the water board is "entertaining" the idea of allowing diving in the quarry. The city put out a RFP (Request for Proposal) for commercial vendors setting up recreational use of the quarry. After the land swap deal, they turned these proposals over to the water board for their consideration. Two companies bid for recreational scuba diving operations and a third company bid for a paintball operation, that could work in conjunction with a diving operation.
The water board president is retiring and he will leave the "decision" to the next president of the board. He retires March 23rd. Hopefully the new president will act on this quickly so that diving operations can open this summer. But right now there are no guarentees.
that's kinda where it stands....
Information about tthe quarry is often discussed in Deep Dixie Divers. (In fact it might be best to move this thread there).
