Trying to find out information about how to set up a dive at Eugene Quarry. I was there several years ago when I did my checkout dives with Scuba Down Under in Sedalia.

I believe the quarry is run by a shop out of Jeff City and the contact person is "Jeff". Anybody have any other information? I can't seem to find a webpage for the shop in Jeff City.

The first two Quarries (the top two) are most dove and have platforms, entrances, lines etc. the third quarry is rarely dove as the entrance is muddy and kind of a pain.

The first quarries (with the boat on it) has a squished car (car crusher) and two platforms. and various smaller odds and ends.

The second quarry has a non squished car, pay telephone on the east wall, large conduit you can dive through, boat, motorcycle frame, and various tidbits.

If you go around the edge of either you will see slag piles that create shelters for the few fish and several Crawdads. There are some friendly fish in both and if you dive the "back" quarry (also known as the Second) when you come out come up the wal to the little shelf at the entry and you can get up close and personal with lots of little fish. They spook relatively easily but they return quickly, they are used to divers.

Thanks for the information. As I said in the earlier post I was there doing my check out dives for my open water cert a few years ago. I'd like to go back and check things out since I couldn't really while taking the class.

Thanks again for the information.
