    Our 4th annual underwater cleanup happens August 6th

    The response for tour annual cleanups has been so popular that we have decided to form a nonprofit and have received our 501(c)(3) designation. I am including an ad that is running in the local paper and thought I'd see if anyone else is interested in joining us. To date we've removed 11 tons of...

    I found a fairly modern scubapro regulator in brass. No Chrome?

    I was told this regulator was an engineer's sample, or some sort of prototype. I'm wondering if anyone has something like this in their collection? And where they got theirs. It looks to me like a mark 20 or a mark 25. I'm not familiar enough with the newer regulators.. I myself use a mark 10...

    A quick dive in the harbor gearing up for our 3rd annual cleanup

    With just over a month before our 3rd annual cleanup in Marquette's Lower Harbor, a few of us check out the end of one dock to see what remains. We spotted close to 50 tires and a few cool artifacts, oe of which was pretty cool. At the end of the video you'll see a light post with a warning sign...

    Setting the stage for our third annual cleanup with a video showing an area that really needs it.

    Saturday's dive in Lake Superior was pleasant enough, even considering the cool 36 degree water. I put a video together designed to catch peoples attention and create a little support for our cleanup in August. Let me know how I did. You may be surprised at the sh@t in our harbor.

    March dive in Lake Superior

    It was warm and sunny in Michigan's Upper Peninsula this past weekend, so a few of us decided to take a dip in the Harbor to cool off. After all, it was 50 degrees out. I was happy to see very little trash in the area that we chose, an area that we dive frequently and do our best to keep clean...

    Open water in Lake Superior on January 10

    What a wonderful thing. Winter is usually a time that we can only dream of diving locally. Well, without the bother of breaking out chainsaws and chopping through ice. Can anyone tell me the type of fish I woke up. Unintentionally, of course. I thought it was a piece of garbage. I am glad to...

    New Years dive in Lake Superior

    Friday was such a beautiful day that I had to get in the lake. Due to ice in the harbor I chose an area a little bit south of the harbor called Bum's Beach. The first video was Friday's quick dive. The second is how I found it a few years back. We did a lot of cleaning and I'm glad to report...

    Diving Marquette's lower harbor for trash and treasure December 12th, 2020

    There's cool history here and towards the end of the video you'll see some train wheels and other machinery that was left beneath the docks many decades ago, evidence of the harbor's industrial roots. The dive begins near the larger DSS&A #6 ore dock which was built in 1931~32 and...

    Photos from our second annual underwater clean up

    The day started out with thunderstorms that threatened our second annual underwater cleanup. My phone had taken on a constant buzz yesterday morning, as so many folks were asking if we were going for a later start, if we were going to cancel, or perhaps postpone the event. If only everyone was...

    finding lost keys for tourists

    It has been a while since I've posted, my apologies. Here is a fun little rescue (of car keys) dive that I did at a moments notice. Some young adults many hours away from home lost their keys while jumping off the rocks into a balmy Lake Superior last month. Nothing cools you down like 43 degree...

    4 tons of tires removed from Lake Superior

    I finally heard back from the folks at Marquette County Solid Waste Management about last years' Lower Harbor cleanup here in Marquette, Michigan. I posted a video to YouTube and may even have linked it here shortly after the cleanup last August. That was before I had learned of the total...

    Discovered a flooded forest diving local lake

    This dive takes place in the neighboring town of Ishpeming, MI. Lake Angeline was drained and mined for iron which is found throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I wasn't expecting the dark and cold water that we experienced. But the submerged forest was a real treat. LMK what you think of...

    Best viz in the Great Lakes region. Using a DH reg to boot.

    Not many places can boast 100' viz but its not uncommon to find that in Fortune Pond in Crystal Falls, MI. This quarry is visited by numerous divers throughout the midwest. If you haven't been here, and you're within Michigan or Wisconsin, you really owe it to yourself to come check it out...
