Clear granite quarry used for controlled training dives.
Hilloisten Louhos is a clear old granite quarry in southwestern Finland that works best as a controlled training site rather than a casual open-water swim. The quarry's hard walls, submerged features, and compact basin make it easy to build a deliberate route, and the access rules keep the site orderly. It is a good choice for divers who want quarry-style structure, calm planning, and repeatable practice dives.
