Ice diving anyone?

[CAPTAIN SINBAD]

Come join us for the first ever ice dives on the shipwreck Weetamoo located in Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire. Enjoy the beauty of the Lake Sunapee Region, including Mount Sunapee. These will be the first ever ice dives conducted on this historical shipwreck.

The Weetamoo, a 50 foot double-decked steamship, was launched in 1902. After disembarking trains in Newbury Harbor, the Weetamoo would carry up to 200 passengers across Lake Sunapee. The Weetamoo was one of several steamships that would ferry passengers to the various hotels around the lake. In 1926, the Weetamoo was intentionally sunk in approximately 70 FFW. The wreck lies perfectly intact with opportunities for penetration through the wheelhouse and passenger areas.

Weetamoo Ice Dive Dates: March 12 & 13
March 19 & 20
March 26 & 27

Costs: $150 per day of diving
We will provide all of the surface support equipment needed, included a warm lunch. Guided dives on the wreck are also provided as part of the course.

Sounds very interesting! How much viz can we expect down there? I ask because I only dive for photography.

The visibility is likely to be in the 15-20 foot range, although it is often very dark both on this wreck and certainly under the ice.
