I don't have my previous post.  I'm from Memphis, but Martha's Quarry is not 
close to Memphis.  It's much closer to Nashville, about 20 miles eash of 
Nasville.
Visibility in the largest portions of the quarry generally ran about 30 feet. 
The times when it decreased was only in the vicinity of the rock crushing 
equipment when lots of divers were stirring the area up.
General admission to the quarry was $15/day on the weekends, slightly less if 
you held a higher level of certification.
