So what do you find in them there quarries? Always reading about 'em, but never done it. Seems like it would be a little boring compared to ocean diving of any kind!:drowse:

but the quarry at Gilboa has lots to look at. Boats, cars, trucks, a school bus and a pretty good sized airplane that you can penetrate. Tubes, platforms, tires are all suspended are various depth. Also, there is a large population of protected fish of various species that are fun to watch. A sunken forest to play in, walls to dive along, a road to follow to the deep end, that sort of thing.
No, it's not the ocean ( it's not even a Great Lake), and only 15 acres at the surface, it's kind of small, but you won't find a nicer group of divers anywhere and it's a much shorter drive than Florida is.
That's what quarry diving is about....

Besides the comraderie with fellow divers [biggie], it's a local place to keep your gills wet and your skills in shape... like it or not, dive skills are perishable, so we have to keep wet in whatever area is close by so that those distant dive trips are more fun.

Damn and here I was thinking quarry diving was all about tormenting fish, carving your name in objects, and walking along the bottom...<<troll>>
O.K...yeah, I like gilboa a lot...I need to get there more often. Hopefully in the near future, I will be getting there a whole lot more. So I can enjoy those infrequent trips wb416 is talking about.
