Swimmers stay in the swimming area, snorkelers can go anywhere, and yes the insurance does make a difference.
Current temps are about 74 on the bottom.

Conditions saturday were pretty good. 50% chance of rain & t'storms, we got there after 10:00 am and the weather held for us. We got 2 dives in & were ready to leave when we could see the storm moving in from the west.
Lots of divers, plenty of people having fun. The water is mostly warm, 84 or more on top, maybe mid 70's at depth? I wore a swim suit & T shirt & was fine. There are odd spots that are cooler than the rest, dunno what causes that but if you keep moving you move out of them, so they're not a problem.
Viz at depth is crappy, which matters bc everything to see is at depth. if you aren't comfortable with low viz diving this is a good, safe place to do some & build your comfort. I've done quite a bit in far worse, my wife & friends wife not so much but they both did fine.
All in all we had a great time & look forward to doing it again.

This Saturday, Aug 25th, we are having another Night Dive at Madison Quarry. Admission for the night dive starts at 6 PM and since there is no cook out on this one, its only $10.
OP
The Quarry will be open Monday for Labor Day. Come out and enjoy the warm water, the visibility is coming back up as well.
