Last summer I visited Rusper brick works, a quarry where my father worked as a very young man. It is now a lake, so I took a swim. I was floating above where my father had worked. Now He is floating above me.

Best inland UK quarry by far. I've done about 400 dive in this quarry from the nineties to a couple of year back, and the best viz was at the end of January one year when me and my buddy were at 48mtrs near the Pinnicles and we could see the surface buoys and the sun highlighting them and the rope. Used to pop down Henry's ridge and then over the the 48 hut, on the way to the submerged trees in the far corner; this was just one of my favourites and all free. Many happy days, but some sad one too.

There’s so many platforms at different levels, so Dorothea is for all levels of qualifications. I started diving there during my Ocean Diver training - if you do the 20m tunnel dive route, there’s a floor below you, so there’s no risk of suddenly dropping to 100m or anything. I’d recommend going with someone who knows the quarry so they can show you all the best bits. I agree that many of the accidents there have been because of people diving beyond their training or not having the right equipment. For example, I know people who have bolted to the surface from 40m just because they had a freeflow. Totally avoidable.

I'm guessing by the adits and winch that this was also a mine as well as an open pit slate quarry. That was a cool little shack! I think the oddest thing was the BBQ and chairs that have apparently been there since sometime between the time the quarry shut down in 1970, the pumps were shut off, and since it is lower than the natural water table it filled with water. Glad you guys came out safe; between 1994 - 2004 21 divers lost their lives in that quarry.

Clyde Ceniza: Apparently they over estimated their abilities. British Sub-Aqua Club sets the safe diving limit at 50 meter. Parts of Dorothea Quarry are over 100 meter deep. 104 meter actually, thus the title of this video.
@clydeceniza25215 жыл бұрын
Duck Landes Damn! There was this video too in KZfaq that some Chinese tourists was already at the depth 56 meters (maybe im wrong) luckily a concerned diver was with them and warned them and they barely made it to the surface
Thanks for the link. That video proves that just because you can afford to buy the equipment doesn't mean you're smart enough to use it :> Deepest I've been was 30 feet (9 meter) when dredging for gold, which is only about 2 atmospheres. But I would stay down there about 8 hours, and I wasn't scuba diving, I was using a hookah diving system so had no worries with how much air I was using.
