Diving Haigh Quarry

If you’ve arrived at this page, it’s most likely because we suggested you see for yourself just how much fun students have during our beginning scuba courses. From May through October, Underseas Scuba Center offers students the option of completing the open-water portion of their scuba course at sites like Haigh Quarry near Kankakee. Among our favorite local dive sites, Haigh Quarry is famous for the many things divers can see and do under water.

What is it like to dive Haigh Quarry? This video, shot during a recent training dive, will show you.

Video is surprisingly easy to shoot and, with the range of low-cost software available, just about anybody can be their own Steven Spielberg or George Lucas. We produced this ourselves and — guess what? — we can teach you, too. Check out our upcoming video courses.

The link above and to the right will open a separate window in which a four-minute QuickTime movie will automatically play.
To see this movie, you will need to have Apple’s QuickTime plug-in installed, which you can download free of charge.
