Dive Cerulean, like many midwestern dive sites, is a flooded quarry. Cerulean boasts unusually good visibility for a shallow quarry thanks to its pool filtration system. As an added bonus of the system, the quarry does not have a thermocline and usually warms faster than most in the area.

Underwater features are similar to other quarries, old boats and a car or two, but for some reason Cerulean has perhaps the largest collection of underwater lawnmowers in the world. Cerulean also has a nice long compass course.

To learn more about Cerulean visit their web site at http://www.divecerulean.com. Be aware that the web site has experienced some ups and downs lately because the owner's son is studying computer graphics and is currently working on improvements to the site.

Entrance fee for the quarry is $20.00 for the day and a site specific waiver, in addition to the Midwest Scuba waivers, is required. If you have not already done so, you will need to complete our Explore Midwest Diving waivers - available at the shop or here:

As part of the Explore Midwest Diving program, we will be visiting Cerulean TBD in 2008. After you check in with the Dive Cerulean staff, check in with the Midwest Scuba staff. We will have an EZ-Up setup with a large Midwest Scuba banner. The EZ-Up should be setup by 8:00 a.m.

Site briefing information will be provided at the Midwest Scuba EZ-Up.

Each buddy team will be responsible for planning their own diving. Anyone without a buddy will have plenty of time and opportunity to find a buddy for the day's diving.

For those interested, Dive Cerulean is open for night diving. Night diving at Cerulean can be a real treat because of the visibility. If people are interested in night dives we will leave the EZ-Up in place. There will also be lanterns in the EZ-up to help setup/break down equipment.

Those interested will need to provide their own lights - one primary, one backup and a marker light or lightstick.

If you are interested in visiting Dive Cerulean as part of the Explore Midwest Diving program, please visit the EMD page and RSVP to our staff.
