It can be a challenging dive with the currents in the Straits. 10 people crew died when the Cedarville sank after a collision in 1965, but more than 10 divers have died on her over the years.
A scary account of a diver trapped inside after getting lost inside the Cedarville in 2000 (was rescued).

A man is dead after a diving accident around a shipwreck in the Straits of Mackinac.
At around 12:42 Sunday afternoon, deputies learned that a diver was being transported to the Mackinac Straits Hospital.
An investigation showed the man was with another diver and a third person who captained the boat.
According to deputies, the two divers made two trips down to the Cedarville and rose in tandem.
On the second dive, both divers had surfaced when one diver noticed the other struggling and helped him into the boat.
The man was then taken to St. Ignace, where he was pronounced dead.
At this time, investigators say are not sure what caused the death and will conduct an autopsy as well as inspect the dive equipment.
