Advanced recreational diving in the Great Lakes

Yep I know. She doesn't want to deal with other people's poop. Holding it or hanging your butt overboard are unprofessional - and marginally legal.

RJ...

Plan your bodily functions like you plan everything else...

Staying clear of unfamiliar...especially spicy bar food the night before...along with the booze...

Get up early the morning of the dive...and go before you leave the hotel...

It's like asking yourself...am I planning on diving the next few days...or am I planning a bout of diarrhoea...what's important...

With few exceptions...which there are...this problem is very avoidable...

When I'm away for multiple days...everything I eat/drink was brought with me from home...my choice...serves me well...

The older you get...the more important it is...

On a boat with 6 people, out for a whole day, there are bound to be occasional exceptions. A professional operator doesn't tell clients to hang their butt overboard to poop...
All Michigan and Wisconsin waters - so the whole US side of Lk Huron and all Lk Michigan are no discharge zones too. Why is it that we expect charters to have emergency O2 aboard, yet not keep the water we actually dive in clean?
