My son-in-law is connected with the Milford Police and they have a list of divers to call when someone make an ill fated dive and is killed. They have to dive for the body to recover it in most cases. These quarries are very deep so the divers have to be careful as well. No amount of signs or fences will keep those who are intent on going in to the water. Tom Powell in New Hampshire
