Well, they were dives #96, 97, 98, and 99 for me today--but my first ever at White Star. Thanks to pvtstash on ScubaBoard for meeting me this morning and afternoon.
Rich S. and his organization are doing a GREAT job
of organizing the quarry and fill station and making White Star one of the top quarry dive sites in the state...and beyond.
While today was not a busy day, I was still amazed with the crystal clear water and at least 30-40 ft. viz. :11: My dive buddy, while a new diver, was in charge of showing me around the quarry and we hit all the major sites, including the cement block house, the crusher and crusher holes (58 degrees at 75' depth), a few boats, pvc memorial dive site, and the awesome platforms which are certain to be a big hit with instructors and their students.
I finished the late afternoon and evening dives with Dale M. and his crew from the Toledo area and Sea Level Scuba dive shop. Great quarry + great food + great people = GREAT DIVES.
I will be sure to revisit White Star again this summer. For $10/diver, free parking, and walk in entry/exit points, it's a great place that I'm glad to have finally visited.
