Do they have a www. or phone #?

I need to know:
Are they are currently pumping nitrox?
Do they need blender training?
When are they going to open in the spring?

Phone number, directions, GPS coordinates, etc ... all you need to know
to get there or get a hold of them

They are closed for the winter, but they will open on weekend with a minimum
number of divers. Like 3-6. so it's not that many.

Let me know if you're interested in going and I can hook you up with
some cold-water divers up here that were talking about going again soon.

They guys that run the quarry are very nice guys. Kevin and Anthony.
You couldn't find more friendlier people.

I need to know:
Are they are currently pumping nitrox?

Yes they have the capability, but trust me when I say you'll want to
bring your own tanks. Their compressor is very old and in my opinion
is "questionable" to it's air quality, especially for O2 clean tanks.
Their compressors are all very old surplus military diesel run compressors.
Most people take their own tanks already filled.

Do they need blender training?

You'd have to check with them on that, but ehey are already
currently doing partial pressure blending with that old compressor.


When are they going to open in the spring?

My guess would be open some in April and open full swing in May.
That quarry is really freezing in April though. (Actually the bottom
part is freezing all year. the area below 40-50 feet never gets
out of the 50's.



Hope that all helps
