Hey all:
I am Planning on going to Haigh later this month, and I just wanted to know about the vis and temp, as well as its location.undefined

Haigh Quarry is in Kankakee, IL which is about 1 1/2 hour drive from the city. Check out www.haighquarry.com

I will be there tomorrow, so I'll let you know about temp/vis. Vis has been pretty good this year.

I was there on Saturday. The weather was fantastic for being outside.

Haigh was a bit crowded with all the people getting certified. We dived the deep side of the quarry and didn't see any other divers. The vis was 10', not the best, but still good diving. The water temp was 56 below the thermocline and low 70's at the surface.

I would recommend Saturday dives because the vis is usually not as stirred up as much as Sundays (after a busy Saturday).

Happy Diving...
