Gilboa Quarry (under NEW ownership!)
Gilboa Quarry is the best inland place to scuba dive in the Midwest! It is a 14+ acre limestone quarry, located in Northwest Ohio. There are wooded campgrounds encompassing over half the quarry’s perimeter. It truly is a great location for diving and dive training.
The quarry provides two distinct personalities: the shallower side with its maximum 65 ft depth provides great recreational enjoyment, while the deep side, with depths of 130+ feet, is suitable for technical training.
