did you use a dry suit or a 7mm and another? or just a 7 mm? also did you use nitorx, or oxygen, and did you use cold water regulators or regular? so many questions. the sandusky would be a fun nighttime dive
Gosh thanks for the advise.
Really the charter called the shots and I mentioned it on board. We did just fine though.

Always do your deepest dive first!
I presume authorities would get a small nervous about that. Most dives in the straits are done owing to a dive charter.

COLD WATER! Can you dive the caison’s of the bridge itself, or is that a security no no? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for taking time to respond, Rick!
Cheers!
That dive I reckon was at about 100 feet… even in summer probably only about 39 degress. Fish tend to hang out in shallower waters. Mackinac is beautifual and there are many fishing a skin condition,
~Rick
Looks fantastic, but where are the schools of fish? Do people go fishing there often? The region of Mackninac Island is very gorgeous.
Thanks! Yes there are a lot of fantastic places to dive in Michigan…including pools!
wow that looks like a blast! i just got my scuba gear and scheduled training. i’m just excited dive in the pool!
Thanks. begnning track is Don Ross – Passion Setting.

Not really… I live in South Orlando, near Kissimmee. Palatka is about 2.5 hours away. So I’m in the general location, but it’s not in my backyard! Cave diving… you Michiganders sure like that cold water! Cave diving takes another cert card. Personally I’ve been diving in The Keys, Hawaii, Rotan Honduras, and Bonaire… all warm waters and simple diving. My group is looking for a fantastic dive/vacation spot for this summer, perhaps Cancun or Belize.
Your welcome here. Lot of fantastic diving in the fantastic lakes.
I’ve done some cave diving in ginnie springs (dveils ear…) are you near there?
Thanks for the in rank. Perhaps I will come up there to dive someday soon. Be safe!
Hello. It was July. Surface temps were probably around 70, but at depth 80-100 temps are close to freazing, at around 38 degrees. We dive in drysuits, but a few others on the boat were in wetsuits. While I personally havent taken a drysuit class, there is one available but not required. This was a recreational dive so since we didn’t infiltrate these wrecks (too much) anyone with advanced dive card can go.
I grew up in Michigan, but went down to Florida and have only experienced warm waters. So, what time of year (I assume it was summer) and what was the water temp? Also, did you dive in dry suits. Is there an additional certification recommended (say… for cold water) aside from wreck diving cert? I am fascinated to say the least.
Very cool!
Maybe someday I’ll take up diving,but for now I’ll just take pleasure in flying PPG.
that bridge is tiny
I am in Green Bay. How much do you payment to go out?
hmm. well I’ll tell you what. when you firm up your plans to come to Michigan let us know.
hey if i go scuba diving there with yu can i crash over at your place for some days?;) i live in sweden thinking about going to michigan
I agree!
