With 275 of my current 400 or so dives being in a quarry, it all a matter of what you're used to. Besides diving for fun, I also teach in the quarry. Vis there can range from >5ft to 40+ ft. I dive this quarry year round, even in the winter. Not only do I keep my skills up & improve them, but I am also diving in nearly the worst conditions that there can be. It makes the clear, warm tropics a piece of cake & a treat. I also do it to challenge myself, try keeping up with 8 students in poor vis. It isn't easy, & also because it is a difference of 1-1/2hrs or 10hrs drive to dive. There are many in our locale that dive the quarry & I've made many friends & buddies. It all really boils down to, how much do you want to dive?
