About This Dive Spot
Atlantic Quarry, located at Schildberg Rock Quarry, is a freshwater dive site known for its unique Kelp Forest. The underwater vegetation consists of freshwater grasses that thrive from a depth of approximately 20 feet (6 meters) and can reach heights of 5 to 15 feet. Divers can enter the site from the shore, beginning to the left of the entry road and following the shoreline nearly to the northern end of the quarry. The Kelp Forest supports a variety of aquatic life, including bass, bluegill, grass carp, and crappie. Large catfish are often found resting among the grasses, and juvenile bass can frequently be spotted hiding in this lush environment.
