Our local Northern Virginia diving community is in shock after learning that "The" Dive Shop in Fairfax has closed its doors, and that Millbrook Quarry is also closed indefinitely, as of yesterday. This news has a deep impact on other local shops, instructors, students, and recreational divers who have been using Millbrook for many years.
TDS has been in operation for over 40 years, and Millbrook is the primary local dive site for this region. So this season we have seen the closing of Bainbridge Quarry up in Pennsylvania, and now our local site. We were relieved to see the re-opening of Rawlings as Lake Phoenix earlier this season, as this is likely our next closest place to dive. But for most of us, driving to places farther out will become far less feasible. This is sad news and very unexpected.
