Kirkfield Quarry

[boney]

I've been thinking about getting a group together to dive the Kirkfield quarry. I was thinking Aug 23rd or 24th, thats Sat and Sun respectively. We'll pick one of the dates and likely do two dives that day.
I believe there is a $5 entry fee per diver and we would need at least 5 divers to go. Myself and my buddy would likely be going but we need at least 3 more...

Anyone... anyone... (you know the rest...)

I'm mostly doing this by the seat of my wetsuit and haven't actually organized something like this before but hopefully it works out!!!

Great that you are organizing something, bravo!!! I'd say I'd go, but I've already got a diving date

A question for you though, why 5 divers?

 

[Roncone]

I might be into it! Never dove there...

What's the water tempo? Warm I figure...

How far is it from downtown T.O.?

Any other details?

DivingGal - from my understanding it is privately owned and I believe it makes more sense for the owner to open up the quarry for groups of people as opposed to just two divers. This is just my theory though, as I am not 100% sure.

Roncone - I can see the waters being the same as Lake Simcoe if not warmer as I imagine it will be a smaller body of water. As for how far it is from downtown, I live at Finch and DonMills and it took us about 30-40 minutes to get to Jackson's point, I would add maybe another 15 minutes from there. Depending on where you are maybe add another 15 minutes... all in all just over an hour for you I am guessing. Below is the map...

I've never been there either but I think it would be kinda neat.
Other details... I figure we would want to start relatively early, maybe try to hit the water for around 10:30ish AM.

I can potentially come with a buddy. I want to see the plane they sunk.

 

[Roncone]

I'm in!

BTW, if there less than 5 of us, I guess we can all split the $25, I assume.

Count me in. I'd love to come.
I'd prefer Saturday, but Sunday is OK too.
Will be coming from down-town TO, so can car poll.

I guess it'd be a double tank dive ???

Thanks,

I'd be interested in going and might (that's a big maybe!!) be able to bring along a diver or two extra. I'd need to know a definite date/time to confirm. Weekend works best for me.

I'll be coming from downtown T.O. as well, ocean...

The carpool thing would be good.

Sure, let's stay in touch. Once we have the definite date/time, we can arrange to meet.

Thanks
