…to check your gear *before* leaving home!

The pool is open. Water is low 60s at the surface.

Opening date for the Quarry has been set for April 7th!

See you in April!

Hydes quarry will be open on Monday, Sept. 5th at 9AM! Come on out and dive!

Due to the impending hurricane, Hyde’s Quarry will be closed on Sunday, August 28th 2011. See you next weekend!

Have you met the residents of the quarry? No, not Mike – he just seems to live there.

Haven’t been out to dive at the quarry yet? What are you waiting for?? The water temps are great – 80′s on the surface, and low 70′s a little deeper. Bottom temps are still brrrr but not many divers hang out there anyway.

Divers and Snorkelers are still just $20. Bubble watchers are just $5 (gotta pay the Insurance man…)

If you haven’t been by yet, the Quarry has changed a little. First, on the land side, the County has come in and removed the deteriorating buildings. This has increased the parking and left a nice big concrete pad.

Underwater, there are two new platforms in (or going in). At least one of these will be deeper than the existing platforms, at around 30 ffw. There’s also another boat going under.  Here’s a video of one of the concrete anchors going for a swim.

Remember, Hydes is Maryland’s only Freshwater Scuba Diving destination!
