Redgranite Quarry - Great Lakes
Redgranite Quarry offers a freshwater dive for those in the Great Lakes region looking to get wet. You’ll find a few submerged platforms, an old mining cart, and some small fish navigating the cool, murky waters. It’s a decent spot for knocking off some rust or practicing skills, especially for newer divers or those getting certified. Visibility can be hit or miss, often depending on recent rainfall and how many divers have stirred things up.
