Looks like it will be a very wet day today. Good news we'll be inside with good food and good friends out at Hart Springs. Head on out if your dive plans get rained out. Cheers!! Kevin

If you still don't have plans for this Saturday, head out to Hart Springs. Weather forecast is for warmer temperatures, but it looks like there will be rain and storms as well. We'll be inside with our friends, having breakfast & lunch and enjoying the presentations from our speakers...

Hey Steve, Wish you could be there as well. Seeing your status update this morning about the storm warning, I bet you are wishing you could be in Florida. You would enjoy Jerome Meynié's discussion on deep cave exploration. I am very impressed that he is able to explore caves that are 500...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce the Hart Springs Education Cave Clinic for 2010. It will be a day long program, filled with speakers, discussion, demonstrations and fun with your cave diving friends. It will be taking place on Saturday, January 16th at Hart Springs park in...

Hello back at you Max. Diving can become more than a hobby. It can turn into a Obsession. Cheers!! Kevin

At the family cabin on Crystal Lake Mich. Was 14 years old with a pile of gear and no body to dive with. Mom told me not to drown, so I was off. Got out the edge of the sand bar. Took a compass heading to the far side of the lake. Took off swimming. It started getting shallow and I pooped...

I just heard about a dive show at Longway Planetarium in Flint MI this weekend. Great Lakes, Great Treasures. Sounds like Ric Mixter, Dave Trotter and some others will be presenting at the show. Ticket are $17 and sounds like they will be available at the door until sold out. More info here...

My understanding is the new XXL Scubapro Jet fin was designed around a size 13 rock boot. Might want to look at those and a pair of spring straps. The spring straps are on my XL jets and I have no problems with my smurf gloves. KLJ

I am still running the old halcyon pro 14's. I love them. They are -8pounds in the water. good burn time with a 50W halogen lamp. too much bun time with a 18W HID. the batteries are not that expensive to replace. the light is not that expensive used. because no one wants a light that big...

Thank you for the reference to the other post. Looks like you guys have a pretty good knowledge of the area. In Lake Charlevoix there is a sunken wreckage symbol south of Horse point/Young state park on NOAA chart 14942. The symbol appears to be in about 70 feet of water. Any idea of what is...

Is there a line installed from the area of this moored boat to the wreck? Sounds like a great winter dive. Kevin

Thinking about heading up north to dive the wreck of Keuka in Lake Charlevoix. Wondering if there are any other dive sites in Lake Charlevoix worthy of making a ice dive. Is the Keuka the only show in that area? Kevin Jones

Wondering if many people in attendance will have scooters. Would like to make a couple of hot laps around the quarry with some other divers. Kevin Jones

I have been pulling those little packs out of light fixture boxes for years. Got any friends that are electricians? Since my employer and I have gotten into underwater video this last year, we have been collecting them. Then putting them into the oven to dry them out. Nother friend of...

I have just recieved the pc-350 for a Christmas present. I am planning on getting the Gates housing for the camera. Bomb-proof construction(rated to 450') and the price with the standard port is about $2000 and $2500 with the 70degree dome port. The part I like about the housing is the is it...

You guys didn't go out to the berchy. The remains of a small tug a hundred yards off shore. There is also a small boiler at the end of the jetty next to the channel. More of a snorkle than a dive. KLJ

I was always more worried about getting unzipped. When you get out of the water and you have to go, you really have to go! So I always carried a 6 foot lenght of rope with a clip on each end. I could clip off to all most anything strudy and unzip myself. KLJ

While diving a year ago march off Fort Lauderdale a cuda made an offensive dart torwards me. I had rounded the bow of the shipwreck I was diving and panned this three footer with my 10 watt HID light. It turned and darted right for me. I rolled to one side and punched it as it passed my face...
