Diving the Keuka

[CamG]

Greetings fellow GLWC members I will be diving the Keuka this week end and am searching for information on the boat. Any links?
I am looking for a sketch or survey information. Any help would be great.
Thanks for your attention.

I haven't seen anything online on the wreck with sketches or surveys. I have seen some youtube videos of ice diving on it though.

It should be a decent dive for you. Pretty open. The diving I did in Lake Charlevoix last weekend had the thermocline at 34ft, so the top of Keuka should be warm, the bottom will be cold.

I recommend the JacobP, about a mile away while you are there. A 70ft sailboat that sank long ago...looks older than the Keuka to me..

Greetings CED and you are very correct. We did a 68 min. on the Keuka and really saw every inch of the wreck. Vis was not bad and there were a few fish at the bow.
Inside she was really open and quite easy to navigate with the cargo hatches open.
We finished our dive and headed in for lunch at the place just north of the boat ramp.

We all decided to dive the JacobP while we were there.
It was a great little wreck that as you have mentioned looks older and rests in about 68' at the stern. The cooler water was a welcome and felt great on my fresh sun burned back!
Over all a long drive but great trip to met friends and do some wreck dives inland.
We were blown off the Ironsides on Sunday so we went to Grand Haven to the museum and tooled around the Silversides. Had a blast will be back to visit Lake Michigan.

Thanks again for the information and safe diving.
