Great Lakes Diving Tour in a week

[Beau Holden]

Keep in mind that "deep and cold" is more advanced than "deep."

That is very true.

@Tigerpaw I would recommend you find a deep, dark and cold quarry to do some work up dives. It will certainly benefit you before you hit 38 degree water below 80 feet.

... The other neat thing I just discovered is that diving is possible from Rochester NY...

Excellent! If you spy Bessie (Nessie's cousin), please let us know!

Rochester - then the St. Peter off Pultneyvill....

If the ghosts let you find her...

Regina and Charles Price was the 1st 2 wrecks I dived in Huron. Two very touching dives I will never forget.

I have dove 6 out of the 8 1913 wrecks on Lake Huron. I have not dove the Scott nor obviously the Carruthers.

I have done 4. Feel free to share where the others are, I would like to add a couple more.

There's a lot left to explore on the McGean and Argus. The interiors of the Mcgean and the engine room on the Argus have not been entered. Kevin Jones got up into the focsle on the Argus and almost bit it when the floor came down on him when the bubbles hit the rotted wood above him.

The Scott has never been penetrated from what I heard. Canada is difficult to deal with in terms of getting a license to search for the Carruthers along with no good idea where she is at. The Hydrus is on the bottom where we left her last

Have most of the interesting and historic wrecks been found or is there still room for people to make new discoveries out there?

Still room to find the Coburn, Thousand Islander, Kaliyuga on the American side. Nothing but room to search on the Canadian side. But all the steel hulled freighters on the US side of the lake have now been located.
