Lake Norman Quarry - PDRA - Mooresville NC


Loading...
The Lake Norman Quarry is for members and their guests. A key is required for entry into the fenced / gated property. There is diving 24 hours a day 365 days a year with a key. The PDRA (Piedmont Diving Rescue Association) is the largest dive club in NC and owns this quarry as well as two others in the NC.

The cost of membership to dive any of the 3 quarries is $45 per year for unlimited access! We know of no where else you can dive so cheap!

At the Lake Norman Quarry there are several boats, a plane a car, and many other attractions to dive in this large spring fed quarry. There are multiple platforms at all depths (up 98 feet) for training or just honing your skills.

The visibility tends to be better in the winter as the fresh water feeds from the spring. Typical visibility tends to be 15-25 feet. There are thermoclines at different depths, depending on season. The average bottom temp in the summer is about 65 degrees. It is always a wetsuit or drysuit dive :)

Every year there is a Treasure Hunt for members and several other events throughout the year. It is just a great place for training or just a fun dive!
