A Diver poses with one of the many underwater dive sites that White Star Quarry has to offer. More sites are being added each year. There are numerous opportunities to dive and explore.
Seasonal Visibility can be outstanding at times. The platform pictured is in 20ft of water and is visible from the surface. White Star has three main platforms for student divers.
The north side of the quarry has a "deep entrance" where divers can giant stride into the water and gain access to the submerged relics of the quarry's past.
The motorcyle is a popular underwater attration for divers wishing to get their photo taken. This site has been featured on the front of national dive magazines.
Sunken boats, buildings, cars and even an underwater forest all are accessible to divers in the 25' to 60' depth range. Visibility in the quarry rarely drops below 20' but can be clearer during the colder months.
Although it requires some careful navigation (or a long surface swim) the Frito Lay truck is a popular underwater attraction and swim through.
Taken from the beach side in late 1976. The quarry had about five feet of water in it. This is from the north west side looking at the scuba walk in entrance where the training platforms are.
Aerial picture of the quarry from early winter 1976. The quarry had just started filling up with water and the beach had not yet been carved out of the rock wall. This is from the south west corner of the quarry.
Picture from the quarry when it was just done with operations as a stone quarry. This picture was taken in the Early 1970's from the top of a building near the north scuba entrance.
