What are the water temps looking like we may be up next weekend if gulf plans fall through

 

[Britt]

The bottom temp today was between 74 and 72 depending on who checked and where they were.

If the weather continues to be nice, any chance the WB would let you stay open through November?

Doubtful, the lease expires the end of October.

Too bad. The WB has had to shut you down early a lot, so it would have been nice for them to cut you a break.

Thank you for your efforts to keep this local dive site open.

Take care,
David

Man... I'm bummed I just learned about you guys being open for diving again!

I just got back into diving recently after 15 years, did a refresher with SDI and went to key largo a few weeks ago. Had I known you guys were open this year, i would have been out there as muc has I could.

Hopefully you will get to open another lease next year! I would definitely like to come out and get some dives in. And since I live about 15 minutes away, I could make it a habit!

Has there been any word yet on if/when Madison would be re-opening this year?

We have the lease through October for the 2013 season. We plan to open on the first weekend of May. We will be planning several events and in doing so, we will need a lot of support from the dive community.

There are going to be a few changes in the operation of the Quarry, but nothing that most people will notice. We will have a few new staff members to handle the operations as well (Yes, I finally get to take a break this year). Admission will be the same as last year, $25 per person. Instructors, get with us about bringing your classes and we will fill you in on the details needed to bring students to the Madison Quarry.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.
