About Morrison’s Quarry
Morrison's Quarry is a shore-accessed cold-water quarry dive with a deep profile, rocky structure, and a clear training-site feel. It suits scuba divers who are comfortable with cold water, a long profile, and a private-property sign-in. Plan on a cold-water setup, a fee on arrival, and conservative gas management rather than a casual swim spot.
