 Throughout the summer and fall, join our shop dive leaders to explore local dive sites on evenings and weekends. Call the shop at
(734) 994-3483 or email to sign up - there's no charge
by Huron Scuba for our local dives (unless the dive is on a charter boat), but you're encouraged to tip the divemaster
when you participate and you'll need to pay for your
quarry or park entry fees & air fills or equipment
rentals. You can meet the group at the shop
or at the dive site (times vary, but we usually leave
the shop at 6:30 for weeknight dives, or meet at the
Quarry at 10 am for weekend dives - call for info on
each dive). Bookmark this page & keep an eye on the
schedule for locations!

Huron Scuba "DRIVE-TO" TRIPS FOR 2008:

| April 6, 2008 |
Gilboa
Quarry, Ohio |
Hello Fun Divers!
Divemasters in training Kelly and Michelle would like invite everyone
out to our first fun dive of the year, Sunday, April 6th at Gilboa Quarry at 10am! As most of you know Jessica is leaving us for the West Coast and we want to give her a classic Huron Scuba send off.
Make sure to bring your compass, there will be a fun activity to test those navigation skills for those who would like to participate and yes, there will be prizes!
Lunch will be provided by Kelly, Michelle, and Huron Scuba. Whether you
have your own gear or rent it from Huron Scuba, tanks and weights are
yours to bring. The water temperature will be in the mid 40s so please
bring appropriate exposure protection. A drysuit is highly recommended.
If you have not been to Gilboa this year (and given the weather this
winter I can bet that most people haven't) you will need to bring your certification card to show proper verification when registering at the Quarry office. The daily entrance fee is $15 for a diver/snorkeler, $6 for a non diver
and $10 per pet. For pricing on air fills and parking as well as
general information, please visit Gilboa's website.
Here are driving directions to Gilboa Quarry.
Also, if this is your first Fun Dive of 2008 and you do not have a fun dive waiver on file please make sure to stop by the shop and fill one out. We will have them available Sunday, April 6th at the tent as well; waivers have to be completed before you dive.
Please note: If you and your buddy want to dive the deep end north of
the wall and you have the proper training, certification and equipment,
you will each need to file a deep dive plan with the quarry office.
This applies to whether you enter at the deep dock (site #1) or drop over
the wall from the shallow end. A redundant air source (pony bottle or
doubles) is mandatory for each diver that enters the deep end, and please be aware that free flows often occur so you must be prepared.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP via email to diveteam - at - huronscuba.com, or feel free to call the shop at 734.994.3483 and speak with Kelly or Michelle. We need to get a count so we know how much food to bring.
We look forward to seeing y'all there!
Kelly, Michelle, and the Staff of Huron Scuba
