My staff and I love to dive at White Star and work with Rich. I am a PADI Course Director working with Scuba Unlimited in Blue Ash, Ohio. Doc's Diving, LLC is a small business that supports southern Ohio and points in northern Kentucky.

I am a DSAT Instructor Trainer in all areas including Trimix, Blender and all instructor levels. I have been diving for forty (40) years, and I have been an instructor since 1974. I proudly work with all instructors and appreciate the "friendship" of Rich, Patrix and the White Star Staff. Visit them soon.

White Star Certification

We had a wonderful certification weekend at White Star Quarry in Sandusky County, Ohio several weeks ago. Joined by Scuba Unlimited and around 20 divers we certified five open water divers, several advanced divers, several deep divers and several peak performance buoyancy divers. It was great.

Interestingly, we were greeted with courtesy, friendship and helpful hands by all staff of Divers Inc. They have a wonderful air station, wonderful staff and their course director, Patrix Heschel is a very good friend of mine. In fact, he was with us that weekend working with his instructor candidates.

The site was beautiful, paperwork was only an envelope signed and money deposited- and beautiful diving! White Star is an excellent quarry. I will link the quarry and Divers Inc. on my website.

Finally, we drove about one hour past Gilboa to get to White Star..and the drive was the best drive I ever made. I will use that quarry, and it is a four hour drive for my students and me, whenever I need deep water and/or just have the time to make the journey. Make the drive...support a quarry where friendship, caring and the old dive spirit is alive and well. Thanks to Rich of Divers Inc. and his wonderful staff. See you soon.

General Diving Comments-Dive Locations

It is unfortunate that Gilboa Quarry in Gilboa, Ohio has chosen to continue their rude and offensive policies toward divers. I will no longer support, dive or teach at Gilboa. Unbelievable costs, paperwork and "police" type oversight have offended my students and friends on a repetitive basis. Finally, after calling the Sheriff's office to report a mother and her three-year old daughter for trespassing(she only dropped off her husband and joined us at the campsite near front gate for a few minutes) my students were appalled and mad. She finally paid $12.00/day for about 30 minutes on the property. Six dollars for her daughter/per day!!!!!

With four pages of rules, tremendous paperwork and costs that are awful, the owners continue to be abrasive and unfriendly. I encourage every diver to consider other sites for their dive adventures. Diving is fun, and I love to teach. However, after diving the world, caves and technical wrecks I have never experienced such treatment..and I am finished with the quarry. The owners should apologize and sell the operation so we may dive a deep and well-stocked quarry again.
