Just be careful. Most boaters have no idea what a dive flag is. They're probably interested in check it out, more than staying away.

I dive there when I have to. If I'm doing a new cert or testing out new equipment. It's a nice safe controlled environment. It's also a good dive to get back into it from the long winter. My dive buddy has a boat and we dive in Lake Michigan usually every weekend off Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin.

 

[JacobsonC2]

i am going out on the big pond today as well. i hope so anyways....

 

[SDAnderson]

Well...we went out and got our butts whipped into submission. Threes to fives, leaning toward fives, waves on a 4 second cycle out of the NNEand a 15 knot wind out of the E made for a day that brought many to their knees. Human hubris is one of the sins most hated by the gods, we appeased them with a copious application of the contents of the stomachs of a number of the more generous souls aboard. Coming back we found ourselves motoring head-on into the start of the Chicago - Mackinac sailboat race, it was like swimming upstream into a herd of drunk rabbits.

Shoulda stayed home.

 

[moneysavr]

Wow That sound just like a Capt. Out of Milwaukees e-mail report to me!I told him I would whimp out on a big pond dive today!
Well there is next WEEKEND!
