Hmm...I've heard of underwater hockey which seems to be a fun idea. I've also seen people do pumpkin carving, though a lot of the "underwater activities" just seem to be randomly placed underwater

Haha, my fault, I did think it was odd that you were referencing specific shipwrecks, then an entire area, so definately my mistake there. Nonetheless, there's still some great wrecks there!

The Straits have magnificent diving for all skill levels, you can make almost all of the divers recreationally or you can go out to some of the deeper ones and stay longer for some technical diving. Also, all the Great Lakes have some great diving and outstanding preservabliy, wrecks like the...

Personally, I think it all depends on the situation. Fact is, when it comes to ocean diving you really can't think of the same 'future generations' argument because in 50 years everythings practically gone anyway, but in freshwater, that stuff really will be there for future generations and...

Went to the event last Saturday, nice to see a decent turnout and some interesting presenters and visitors

I'd have to thrown the Britannic and Lusitania in there as well even though very few people actually dive them, they are sill extremely famous. Another shipwreck that is extremely famous, especially to Great lakes divers is the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Just try to be calm in the water, that's what helped me

Good way of stating it. I agree on the point of personal limitations. As for my diving past, the minority of my dives are in warm water, just about all of them have been done out on the Great Lakes in the cold water. I'm very familiar with the enviornment.

Ok, no problem. I wish you good diving as well, I think the reason it caused so much "controversy" is because challenging a diver's safety, skill, training, equipment, and planning is a pretty big statement. Obviously you did not challenge all of these things, a lot of them rose later along the...

Oh no offense taken, I didn't really think you were contradicting me, I just figured you were expanding on what I said, no problem:D

Totally agree with your statement, obviously you want a person with certifications, I just wanted to say, like you said, that you need to have some real dives and that experience is the real thing that counts, but obviously certification and training is very important. I don't want it to seem...

That's the hilarious thing about a lot of people on this board, not all of course. I'm not trying to insult ScubaBoard in any way, it's a great site and has a lot of useful information, but some people get delusional on this board about real diving. I constantly hear people talk about "card...

Is it a traditional "recreational" dive? Probably not, if you dive it as a "recreational" dive it is a deep one, definately right on the edge of technical. No one's denying that fact that it is a deep and has many dangers, but that doesn't mean you can't make it a "recreational" dive. Like I...

Amen to that

Haha, wouldn't surprise me too much after talking to some people on this board

Tell me, maybe this is just me wondering, but why 130 feet, why not 131, why not 129. What "magic" happens at 130 feet? Like I said, maybe it's just me, but I find the idea of a "magic" depth a little odd. Personally, I think it's decompression that determines what a "technical" dive is. Now...

I've dove a Henderson Hyperstretch 7 mm two-piece. I adore the suit, it's extremely warm even in the coldest temperatures and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend the suit to anyone.
