About White Star Quarry

One of the better local divesites. White Star Park in Sandusky County Ohio, is an 800 acre park located near Gibsonburg, Ohio. On the park property, White Star Quarry is a 15 acre man made lake with an average depth of 40' with the center of the quarry approaching 50 Feet. There are two '�holes,'� one near the wall close to the main diving entrance and the other at the bottom of a stone crusher that are 60' and 80' respectively. The cost of diving is $15 per day per diver. You need to fill out a diving form (a pink envelope) and drop it in a special payment slot with your money for each day that you dive. You must have exact change or you can write a check. There are two pavilions that have the forms and the information about registering posted near the diving sites. On most weekends, Divers Incorporated - White Star operates a scuba concession where you can pay by check or credit card if you need to.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

  • Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

  • Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

  • Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.

  • Thermocline Buoyancy Shift — Sharp thermoclines can cause sudden buoyancy changes.

  • Instant Visibility Collapse — Sediment disturbance can eliminate visibility immediately.

  • Late Detection of Structures — Submerged structures may only appear at very close range.
