This is an old quarry and they have several sunken objects to look at. The visibility wasn’t great, but I still had a good time.

Actually, it’s probably the best time of the year to dive there. The water is still warm but better viz than at other times of the year.

GreggS - 1/01/2018 10:25 PM
Well, I got certified there and I live only 4 miles from it, so, yeah. I’ve been there a time or 12.

Nice day at Blue Stone. Water temps were nice and visibility was much better than normal. We were able to see things we had never seen before such as a detonator plunger that was probably left there from when it was a working quarry and we had swam over many times along the north wall at 45 feet deep.

First dive of season. Water was very nice at top, dropped into 60s below 25 ft and 50s below 35. Visibility better than normal for Blue Stone in the spring.
