About Scottsville Quarry
Scottsville Quarry is a shallow freshwater quarry near Rochester with shore access and a managed entry path from the parking area to the water. The site is a training-oriented basin with submerged structures, modest freshwater fish, limited visibility and little current, so it suits checkout dives, basic practice and relaxed local diving more than scenic sightseeing. Divers should plan for careful buddy contact, slow navigation and simple shore logistics in a compact quarry setting.
