Lake Allure is a private quarry lake dive site for training and freshwater life.
Lake Allure is a private quarry lake dive site in Quarryville used for training and recreational scuba. The site combines shore access, clear dive rules, and submerged training features with deeper quarry water, so it works as a controlled local dive site rather than a casual open-water swim. Divers come for freshwater practice, the sunk boats, and the chance to log structured dives close to home.
