This dock was used for over one hundred tears and some accounts suggest it was the only dock in Marquette's harbor to survive the great fire of 1864. I love diving these ruins!

I am using a 5mm suit. I'll use it until the water dips into the 40s. Right now its still around 55.Looks cold. What exposure suit do you wear for that site?
Liked the video ?
As usual you and your video were top notch !
You never disappoint !
I enjoyed every frame.
I am reminded of my number 1 daughter
About 35 or so years there was a huge storm in SoCal that blew down a local pier.
My daughter was and still is very enterprising, so'
She and several of her tribe dove on the pier and salvaged several select pilings
They brought them home, used my wood working equipment sawed then in to small pieces sanded them, clear coated them
They pooled their money made commemorative plaques which they attached
Set up shop on the beach and sold then to the locals...
Just a thought ? enough tourist in your area who would like a hunk of the pier ? or a hunk of 100 year old coal ?
Keep up the great work

My daughters plaque making was probably 35 or more years ago. Since that time she has competed a doctorate, moved to Australia and is now retired-- No plaques ! But many fond and fun memories of my daughter and her early enterprises...
As I recall it was a hunk of wood with a brass name plate glues on with the name of the pier and the date inscribed on it...
Never the less they sold all their inventory in several weeks. The last week sales and the novelty began waning so the didn't male any more plaques.
Now it is time for Diverdon enterprises to consider a marketing plan ?
