Made four dives at White Star Quarry in Gibsonburg, OH on Sunday and Monday.
I went with a party from Captain Nemo's Dive Shop in Dover, OH.
I left Saturday night to stay over and took the Turnpike. Took me just over
three hours to get to Fremont and I stayed at the Holiday Inn. Very nice
comfortable place. Plenty of restaurants around and a Walmart.
Headed to White Star Quarry on Sunday and hooked up with my party. Made two
dives on Sunday - each about 45 feet. From what I heard, the visibility was
good for the Quarry at about 15 to 20 feet. Saw the crusher, phone booth
(made me laugh so out of place), and lawn mower. Next dive was about the
same. Water temp was warm to about 15 to 20 feet than got cold to about 64.
Sunday, made two more dives and videod the first one. Just not as much to
video as in the ocean reefs as I would only come up on things here and
there, training platforms, crayfish, schools of fish, a stop sign, limestone
blocks, and some big slanted roof concrete house structure. I may or may
not put the video on Video Google. If I do, it is going to be a real short
couple minute video.
However, it was good to get back in the water and dive, though. And it was
very good to take time out and spend time with good friends and meet new
people. If you are like me, living in Ohio and not by the ocean, and you
have to take what you can get, I recommend the White Star Quarry.
