A lot of people ask us about local diving spots in the DC/Baltimore area. Given that we are relatively landlocked (aside from the Bay, which presents only a few diving opportunities), there are a few spots that are good for a fun day of diving. If you want to get wet and enjoy a day out in the sun, check out Hydes Quarry in Westminster, MD. Hydes has been set up pretty much exclusively for diving- it has some nice easy entry points, a few good sunken attractions like a sailboat and a school bus, and tons of fish!
Entry into Hydes is $20 for the day for divers. Make sure to bring your c-card and your gear, as there is no dive facility there so you're on your own once you get there. Hydes is managed by the folks at Undersea Outfitters in Westminster. They are friendly, if you have any questions about the Quarry they're helpful.
It isn't quite the Caribbean, but in a pinch it'll do! Click Here for Directions to Hydes Quarry.
