Quarry Diving?

[101recon]

After looking at a lot of this I wonder what it woud take for SB to have a database of sorts on the site to look up non ocean dive sites with pertinate info and pics as a means of a site locater. I lnow I would get out more if i knew there was a 50' quarry 40 miles from me. Its done somewhat with the singles form. so why not?????? I see lots of benifits in this. Clearly a better look at landlocked diving compared to what is now available. I am sure that the dir wall pales in the shadow of the fresh/salt water comunities wall.

This site isn't bad. This is the link for Texas but they have world wide listings. Texas - Diving in Texas, United States of America - Wannadive.net - World dive site atlas

There are already sites that do that such as divebuddy.com and divespots.com



Nearest me is a sinkhole that's been converted to a dive site. Similar to a quarry from the sound of it, just not man made. Mine's 130' deep and has a rowboat and a car at the bottom. It also features both a significant thermocline and a halocline.

My favorite place to dive in MN/WI is a quarry in WI that typically has great clarity (compared to MOST lakes in the region). Lake Superior has great clarity when I get up there to dive too. The quarry I dive is also nice in that it is ~355ft deep so that you can get full Tri-Mix certified there (not that I am). It's actually considered the deepest inland lake in WI and is rated 2nd for clarity in WI by the DNR.
