Bright sunshine and a cold north wind fought one another for control today as several divers enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt (underwater) organized by Kelly, Dan and Chris - to all of whom many thanks for their work. The conditions in the quarry - 45℉ (7℃) and about 40 feet of visibility made for a fun swim in depths up to 37 feet (11m). It was great to see divers from Canadian Sport Divers in Belleville along for the dive. A selection of prizes rewarded the lucky participants - although some eggs went undiscovered...
The intention of the organizers is to add a variety of items to the bottom to make the site more attractive to divers. There's also a plan to introduce a toilet. Information about the facility and arrangements to dive it can be found on the blog set up to publicize the quarry. Kevin's excellent picture shows Jim enjoying a 'ride' on one of many abandoned bicycles to be found in the quarry. The second picture is of a 'cat' placed by the organizers for divers' amusement.
