A couple of last-minute cancellations mean that there are some seats available for three days of diving in the Straits of Mackinac over the holiday weekend. This is about as good as it gets for freshwater recreational diving, with lots of wrecks, gorgeous views and plenty of activities to fill the non-diving hours. Well be diving from the Rec Diver, a 42 ft trawler outfitted for diving with plenty of room for everyone.
Sites will be determined by the weather and group vote, but you can count on me having a hissy fit if we dont get to the Eber Ward and the William Young. Other popular sites likely to be visited include the Cedarville and the Sandusky.
Cost is $240.00 for the three days of two tank diving. You will need to provide all of your own gear, including tanks and weights. Air fills are available in St. Ignace, EAN and TMX are not. Were going out with Straits Scuba, you can check out their website for more information about diving with them and the area.
Weve also got a few rooms locked in at the Best Western Harbour Pointe in St. Ignace. Nice place, pool, special rate of $99 per night, or you can make your own arrangements wherever you'd rather.
This is advanced diving, if you arent trained and experienced with diving in deep, cold water with occasional fast currents and rough water, this isnt the dive for you. We're expecting sunny skies and flat calm, but that doesn't always happen.
We have a mix of advanced recreational divers and technical divers on this trip, so nobody will feel left out. If your training includes decompression training, some in the group are definitely planning on some longer bottom times. Others in the group will be staying within NDLs. A drysuit is strongly recommended at 40F on the bottom, its just too dang cold for wetsuits.
If youre interested, PM me.
