Looking for recommendations/comments on Dutch Springs Pennsylvania. Been diving the Quarry at Haymarket Virginia and looking for some alternatives. Thanks for your suggestions!

If you enjoy quarry diving, Dutch Springs is one of the best to dive in, if not the best. They are a very professional full service operation. The water is cold, but very clear (it looks like tropical blue water). There are a lot of underwater attractions. It is very nice, but expensive in my opinion.
If you have any specific questions, let me know.
You gotta dive... So dive Dutch..
It is cold... Freekin cold...

Super thanks! I appreciate your responses to all of my posts. We'll look to head up to Dutch Springs in the next several weeks.
All the best, Chris
I know a few divers from here and from divebuddy.com that are going to the DUI Dog Days at Dutch next month. I think it is May 16th and 17th, but I am not 100% sure.

way to dive Dutch...

Yes it is COLD really FREAKING COLD, but it does warm up somewhat during the summer and into the fall. I am thinking the water temp is getting close to 50 degrees or so. And yes, dry is pretty much the only way to go there this time of year. Don't get me wrong, a few years back we went this time of year in 7mm farmer john wet suits. We were fine, for about 5 minutes then we started to shiver, after about 10 minutes in it started to become painful, by 15 minutes we had ended the dive.
