The Beach at White Star with a Double Rainbow!

New Fish Sighted by Divers.

One of our divers sighted a new fish in the quarry on May 21.   It appears from the description to be a type of Darter and probably was stocked with the Brown trout.  If  you see this fish while diving, please note as much as you can about the markings on the sides.  It is a small fish (3inches) and there may only be one of them.   If you can take a picture of it, that would be AWESOME!!!!  Best guess makes it a Blackside Darter.  If the dots turn out to be stripes or "W's" then it would be something else.  See the underwater creatures page for more information.

Good luck hunting!

September 7, 2009 -  We had a super fun time at the Second Annual White Star Quarry Treasure Hunt.  We left a few prizes on the table which would have been given out if more people had searched!  Come try and win a few at the Pumpkin carving contest!  Here are some of the pictures.

September 7, 2009 -  We are happy to announce a new dive site at White Star Quarry.  The White Star Quarry Cemetery is here in time for Halloween.... welcome the White Star Quarry Cemetery to our list of underwater sites. Anyone have a Wrought Iron fence and gate they want to part with? We would love to install one around the area.  These head stones were donated by various Granite companies. Big thanks to Joel Thomas, Rick and Laura Hamman, Johnathan Eastbrook and the people who helped swim the stones out to their resting place. The most recent stones were donated by "The Reflections of Life Granite Sales" in Graystown, Ohio.
These stones were rejected by the customers, family upgrades, trade ins, or they were mistakes (see if you can find them) and all were destined to be crushed and turned into gravel. They look better at the bottom of the quarry. We have been promised a few more, we can't Wait!

We had a blast on February 7 - 8! Here are the Pictures!

  NEW DIVE SITE AT THE QUARRY - November 2007 -  At around Noon on November 16, the "Pension Plan," a small runabout power boat slipped gracefully beneath the surface of White Star Quarry and came to rest in 29ft of water about 100ft East South East of the Police Car.  The vessel is equipped with many of its original fixtures including the swim ladder, hatch covers, steering wheel and compass.   A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Rob Gardin who donated the boat and cleaned it up for sinking.  Rob had the honor of being one of the first divers to dive the site.   More underwater sites are coming soon!  Here are some of the pictures.

A whole group of divers settled the "Jim Harley"  a 17ft Sailboat with its complete rigging up and in place.   This new dive site was placed on June 5 so you need to be careful at the site until it settles. More underwater pictures will be posted soon and a big thank you to Barb Eller and Roger Roth who provided the underwater pictures.  This vessel sits about 75ft south of the crusher pit in 45ft of water.

May 2007 - The Tunnel at White Star - We are super excited to announce that permits are now available to dive the Tunnel at White Star.  Permits are limited to the weekends and you must have a qualifying certification and experience in overhead environments to obtain a permit.  There is no cost for the permit.   Stop by the scuba concession if you have questions.
