What Marine Animals Will I see?
At Crusty's Quarry we have many fish you can encounter while diving! We do not allow any fishing at our quarry so many of the fish have gotten quite large and friendly. While diving you will see a lot of plant life and even some Freshwater Sponge. If you keep your eyes open you might even spot a turtle! One of the most unique animals in Crusty's is the FRESHWATER JELLYFISH! Don't worry though, they cannot sting you. We are one of the very few bodies of water in all of Pennsylvania that is home to these strange animals. They are usually spotted in the early fall as the water temps cool off. About the size of a dime, the jellyfish float peacefully though the quarry as you enjoy your dive. Many divers enjoy filming and interacting with them. Types of Fish/Animals you Might see Largemouth Bass Smallmouth Bass Bluegill Sunfish Pumpkin seed Crappie Catfish Painted turtles Red eared slider turtles Snapping Turtles Freshwater jellyfish Muscles/clams Freshwater sponges |

Underwater Attractions
When you slip beneath the surface at Crusty's you will find more than just fish and plants. We have many underwater attractions that make navigating through our Quarry exciting and adventure packed. Some of the things you might see are multiple big boats (some penetrable with wreck certification), a school bus, cars, platforms, row boats, a pirates cove (with a cannon and treasure chest!) a horseshoe model scuba diver, and even a plane!!! All attractions have been made safe for scuba exploration and are spread around the entire quarry so every fin kick leads you towards something new! Come dive with us! |
