 Today we're headed north to Krusty's Quarry in Vellant, PA, to get our diving lungs back in shape after a long winter. Jump in and explore Krusty's with us. Welcome to Krusty's Quarry, owned and operated by Scott Carmelo. When you're getting certified in Pittsburgh, you're likely to take your open water certification in a lake or a quarry. We got certified with Scott Scuba, who has a close relationship with Krusty's. Let's take a quick step back first. If you've ever wanted to go scuba diving, Pittsburgh's largest dive shop is located in Freeport, Pennsylvania. Owners Josh and Jenny Diliman are amazing. Not only do they offer both basic and advanced classes, but Josh manages a full repair and maintenance shop for your equipment. They also have the largest retail shop, and most importantly in my book, they coordinate trips to exotic locations all around the world. If you go to their website, they have a section for travel. On my bucket list is the Sardine Run in Safari in Africa. They currently have a trip schedule for two weeks spanning late June to early July in 2020. Okay, back to Krusty's. If you're leaving from downtown Pittsburgh, it's about a 60-minute drive due north past Lake Arthur. We're heading north to the little town of Vellante, which is not too far from Grove City, PA. When you pull in, you'll notice there's plenty of parking, a pavilion for training to grab a quick lunch between dives and to just get out of the sun. The quarry itself is 9 acres in size. The maximum depth is 45 feet and has visibility about 10 to 30 feet depending on the season. Water temperatures can range between 55 degrees and 80 degrees. Today was in the mid-60s. When you dive here, there's so much to explore. There's a sunken plane, a boat, freshwater jellyfish, and plenty of fish to look at. There's definitely one of the best places in western Pennsylvania to come diving. One of the features I like most is the trading platform right off the dock. It makes it easy to get in and out of the water, but more importantly, it provides your instructor a secure platform for last-minute instructions. Well, it's time to pull out the gear and shake the water out of our ears and dream about the next time we go diving. Thanks again, Scott Scuba and Crusty Quarry for a wonderful day.
