 Just curious, when is the last day of the year that most of you guys will dive on. I usually don't dive after Halloween, but I've heard of some guys going all the way to Thanksgiving.

 Usually Haigh Quarry in Kankakee Illinois is open till about Thanksgiving. This year Tina Haigh is closing October 30 because her son Jim is getting married. I like diving until Thankgiving at Haigh. The water is very clear as the turnover has completed and having a nice fire in the stone pavillion is great. Maybe next year!
