Hyde's Quarry

(click picture for larger image)

One of Columbia Scuba's favorite training sites, located only 45 minutes from Columbia, Hyde's Quarry has two training platforms, a neutral buoyancy course, and several wrecks ranging in depth from 30'-60'.  Additionally the drive out to Hyde's quarry is a beautiful drive through the country and farm land of rural Maryland.
