Left to right: yours truely, straining under the weight of the GoPro Hero camera apparently, TBix, CamG, DM Keith, and Talking-Scuba.com guy (sorry, didn't get the name).
 
If you have been on the Regina last season you will find it familiar but quite different in sections.

I really need to spend some time on the Regina this year. I have lots of dive on her last year and have lots of footage. Every year I am amazed at how much the wreck is deteriorating. From your dives this year, is there any specific area that you have found to be significantly different from last year?
 
I thought you were the official videographer! Was about to ask you the same question about your trip to the straits

I've got lots of footage from the straits (and last weekends dive to Lake Michigan). Now I just need to find some time to sit down and edit. Both work and MBA studies are getting in the way of fun! :rofl3:

The biggest change I've noticed is the starbord side where she hits the clay. VERY fragile, the weight of the zebra mussles causes parts to flex :(
 
Well Mike the forward section bulk head is now broken down opening into the forward compartment.
I have not investigated it yet but it is on the plan this weekend.
It looks as though the wreck has settled quite a bit from what it was last year.
It is saddening to realize that in a few years it could be a debris field from deterioration.

I guess we have to realize that metal wrecks do not hold up like wooden ones and I wish they did.
My camera was sacrificed to murphy last season so I am without one time being.
I could borrow my wife's camera and housing but she is reluctant due the afore mentioned incident! Er.....ah......accident that is!

The boat this season has been some of the best OW dives I have had yet to date.
You can not substitute being with dive friends and being on Lake Huron visiting wrecks.
It is what diving is about to me.
It is not cave but it is WRECK and summer means wreck season!
Beverages are cold, friends are quick to smile, and dive stories flow like rivers!
Life is good, thanks friends!

Cam, I expect to be on the boat this weekend and will have my gear, looking forward to it. Al
