The Great Lakes

[Clernix]

Are there great lake dive operators besides local shops to get a fill? I dove a lake about 4x in my life in germany never went below 40 ft in the summer. I think compared to the Great Lakes they would be puddles. I live close the Lake Erie it would be interesting to try it. What is the visiblilty like?

I can't speak for lake Erie, but in Lake Michigan the shallower (50ft) wrecks the viz has been about 20 - 40 foot most of this year. The deeper stuff, for me anyway, 130 - 150 has been very good. some days 200++. I did video on the Walter B Allen this past July and you could see the bow from the stern and the bottom going away. That Walter B Allen is a 137 foot schooner that sits upright in 168 fow.
Here's the link to the video

I dive Lake Erie, wet now but going dry over the winter. Temps today 54f at 35 ft. I hope dry will make for a earlier spring startup now to locate buddies that are willing.

I have only dove one wreck in the Great Lakes . That was the Lucerne in Superior, some still intact . Dove wet Laborday Weekend , 61 deg. I too would like to look into doing more in Mich. altho the only charter I know of is pretty spendy.

If you are going to do Lake Ontario from the Canadian side, let me know when you are coming up. If I'm around I'll introduce you to the gang at my dive shop and we'll take you to some of the better dive sites.

Heck, let me know if you are doing Erie. I know one guy who dives the Erie wrecks all the time. He has a zodiac and does runs all the time.
