Dive #1
Did the Northener off Portwashington with Recman21=Steve had a great time,vis was 60' + or -,temps were a cool 38 at depth - Man that felt good! found a few lawyers laying around the wreck, a basic great dive!
Dive #2
Then we ran north and did a dive on the Niagara and Wow the boilers section is getting the allage rugs as the water warms up,in the high 50's at depth real nice,
too warm for a dry suit!
Also the small fish are back,met the basic lawers one real big guy I was bothering,and lot's of Walleye and perch,met one face to face and she was so old she had bad eye sight! vis was good till we got done mixing it up,well great day on the lake and hope to see how Swimjims dives north were today!
well got to get some tanks on the boat for Sundays DEEP dive of Sheboygan, looks like we may have some photo's if all works as planed.

Brad. Thanks for the opportunity to dive with you again! It's always a blast! As you said the Northerner is just like looking into the past! A great dive. Also having time to investigate the Niagara in more detail and see the boilers was great. Definitely a perfect day with perfect dives!
Let me know how todays dives went.
Let's dive again soon buddy!

Steve,
We had a GREAT Dive today,The Chamberlin wreck was more of a trip to the past,being a bit out of range for rec divers she was more intact,a much larger ship than the Northener. with much more rigging,masts,hand pumps,looking like you could sail her off the bottom!
Jim and I will be back to dive her real soon! Hope to see if any photos turn out,Jim had one leak on a flash,but the other did work.I hope they do, Viz was down a bit so we will see.
Aaron say thanks Steve!
lets plan a dive soon!

Hey Brad
We weren't on the Chamberlin yesterday, we were on the Walter B Allen. Very cool wreck, very intact and deep with the deck at around 150 fow. My main flash did not flood. However it was going a little goofy down there. I have some pictures that I may be able to save. Nothing spectacular though. None of the photo's I took of the steam engine on her deck turned out. I'll work with a few of them and post them if I can pull anything out. Awesome dive. I'd like to get down there again. I would like to try another photo run. Have a great day!
Jim
