I couldn't believe all the zebra mussels on the Prins Willems V (the Willie) in Lake Michigan near Milwaukee.
The Zebra mussels have in fact carpeted everything down to about eighty feet or so. They make it harder to identify stuff on the bottom. A problem our ocean going friends have all the time. The good news is that the water is much clearer then it used to be. In the late seventies when I started diving twenty foot visability was a good day. I dove on the carferry Milwaukee last sunday. This is a wreck known for poor viz and we had fifty foot visability.
While I miss the "old" days where wrecks that were down a hundred years were as they were when they went down, I love the good viz. So its a double edge sword. Nothing you can do anyway, so you might as well go diving!
