This dive site is Philips Outdoor Center, a non-profit facility dedicated to environmental and safety education alongside recreational diving. Access to the quarry requires scheduling visits in advance with Leaird’s Underwater Service and paying an entrance fee; you'll receive your key from them. If you need air fills or rental gear during weekends, or plan to dive on Sundays when Leaird’s Underwater Service is closed, it's essential to schedule a visit beforehand. The quarry itself is open year-round.
