Portage Quarry Dive Report

[marshallkarp]

Kevin, Denny, and I made three dives on Saturday at Portage Quarry. The viz was pretty good on the first and things were stirred up on the second, but pretty good over the the silo. I wanted to take video on the second dive, but no go on the vis.

I did take some still photos, though. I did not know this but there is a Jacques Costeau memorial on top the silo. You can see the pictures at

It was a humbling moment when I read the inscription and for a second or two, I forgot that I was underwater and in the quarry. It was a very emotional experience.

The silo was my favorite. It is almost magical to hover at the memorial in what appears to be Carribbean blue waters, fairly warm at only 10-15 feet, the sunlight making the light rings all around you as if you were in a pool or Tropical waters, and hearing swimmers jumping into the water above you (they are not directly over you).

Thanks for posting the photos here, too. Hope to go diving again with you soon, Marshall!
