Dhruv, Dan, ang Gaurav (left to right) hanging out on their yacht
Dhruv, Gaurav, and Dan visited Crusty's quarry on the third explorer's club dive trip this season. There was a substantial crowd of both classes and families. We quickly got situated and hit the water about forty minutes after arriving, which is pretty quick.
The visibility was somehow even more poor than the first two times. Since we had already visited all the attractions in the quarry, we practiced our underwater navigation skills instead. Gaurav wound up diving in circles, but Dhruv unerringly led us to four separate attractions in visibility of less than 10 feet.
A fish joined us to check out the airplane.
We also attempted to visit the deepest part of the quarry (under the airplane) but had to abort the attempt at 30' when the visibility dropped from 10' to about 2'. The silt was so complete that the white light from the flashlight turned red from scattering. (Checking with some staff later, we were told the nadir is at about 40' and is silty year-round.)
