Lake Champlain diving

[Soggy]

I'm a native VTer (I lived there until I was 20) and am going to visit my folks in Williston (near Burlington). I'm going to do some diving with a friend of mine and am looking for suggestions as to what to see. I've checked out the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and VT Underwater Preserve websites and read a bit about the wrecks, but there has to be more than 7 wrecks in the Lake that are SCUBA accessible! There were several revolutionary war battles fought on the Lake, and I am guessing that there are several revolutionary war ships down at the bottom.

Any suggestions are welcome!

I actually got my certification and gear through National Aquatic.

I just set up a charter for a couple friends and me to dive on a couple wrecks in Burlington Harbor (there are four within a very small area). I can't wait...two weeks away.

Do you still dive with NAS? I just went on the boat in Skaneateles Lake last weekend...it was a bunch of fun. I'm going up to NAS this weekend to pick up my drysuit which was leaking from its right arm.

Hi aaron,

I still dive with NAS and if I do a boat dive it's Fri. eve. I work on the weekends so my budy and I usually go to the St. Lawerence during the week. I also had a dry suit leak this week I beleive it was the neck seal, I changed to a sweatsuit from the undies and I didn't really make sure my seals were not rolled ao tucked just the front to the Knees was soaked, luckily the water is 62 now.

I joined Club Aquarius at the shop and it has saved me some good money on many things, if you're not a member you might look into it.

See ya in the H2O

I'm moving to the Boston area in a few weeks, but before I go, I want to go on one of the Wednesday or Friday night NAS boat dives. Maybe I'll see you out there!
