    Portage Quarry closing?

    GreatLakesAngel, Yes we did. The Viz was down sime due to the number of divers. I found the water temp to remain about 67 until passing thru 30'. Other than that it was great as usual. I don't know why the web has been updated, but the board has been updated.

    I don't know who started the rumor, but it is totally false. I have been there just about every weekend since May. People are diving and enjoying it as usual. Like everyone else, I find the water clear and clean. No TRASH. Just plain CLEAN water. The viz last week was clear from wing tip...
