Our 4th annual underwater cleanup is happening in just under two weeks. Here is a video with some highlights from last year's cleanup.
There is still time to sign up if you're in the neighborhood.
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 listed this on ebay already, then a fellow member suggested I put it here. I'm really not sure why I didn't think of this first. My apologies.
What I have is a large package of package of ikelight housing's, domes, handles, trays, etc.
I boughtbthis with a bunch of Scuba gear and have no...
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...
Our third annual underwater cleanup is this Saturday in Marquette's Lower Harbor. Check out this link for the TV interview. Hope some foriends from the board can make it.
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...
It's time to share the date of our 3rd annual underwater cleanup. Mark your calendar and plan to spend the morning helping divers from throughout the Midwest remove years of trash from Marquette's Lower harbor.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Never a dull dive at this popular swim are. Jumpers are shedding jewelry and watches etc. each week as the weather warms. I actually try to give this stuff back as I post these finds to local FB pages etc.
I was diving here just last Sunday and cleaned up every hair tie that I found. A week...
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...
Last year we removed 4 tons of tires and debris from our local harbor. This year we intend to remove just as much if not more. We have divers from throughout the midwest. I'm including a poster so I don't have to retype it all...
If you're interested in the event go to the FB page...
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...
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...
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...
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...
