CMU SCUBA goes to Ohio - White Star Quarry 2022-09-03

Gaurav and Dan visited White Star quarry in Gibsonburg, Ohio on Saturday, 3rd September 2022. We drove there and back, taking over seven hours in total in the car.

The diving was disappointing -- the website promised 45' of visibility, plenty of colorful fish, and even an underwater habitat. The reality was a 15' of visibility to a flat quarry floor with a few attractions sprinkled around. We saw four fish the entire day (one was in a sandwich). The habitat was a mini-gazebo with a decorative bubble of air maybe 4" high. It was so disappointing that, after three dives, we cancelled the second day and drove back that evening.

At least this trip allowed us to test diving at 45' depths. After this trip, we decided to stop any further quarry diving for at least this season, and started kicking around ideas for future dive trips to Florida/Mexico.
