Straits this weekend?

[Mitten Diver]

I would love to dive in the straits this weekend. Maybe aboard a little 6 pack or something. Could I just drive up and catch a charter? It would be my first trip up there. Be nice if I could get a couple of buddies to go also. I could meet you around the Flint area.

Straits of Mackinac??? Perhaps this was an inside joke between you and the OP because I see wrecks that range from 40'-140' (Straits Scuba).......I would love to dive some of the wrecks there. They look to be in incredible shape.

Hey Mitten; I'll meet you in Flint around noon on Fri. and we'll head up about 1:00. We can dive Sat. and Sun. Do you think anyone else would want to join us? I hope we can get on a little 6 pack boat; You think we should call ahead?

I'll go too.... But if its only 40' to 140' Im only going to bring snorkeling equipment as T.Bix recommended. Dives that shallow just don't require all that gear.

Maybe for safety I'll take along a pony bottle (not sure if I should sling it or back mount it) or one of my spare airs. Think it would be ok to wear my spare are on my weight belt?

Hey, that reminds me: I wonder if I have enough CERTIFICATIONS to dive the Straits? After all, I'm not Deep/Advanced Nitrox/Deco/Trimix/Drysuit/Wreck diving/UW video/Overhead environment/Pee valve/Master/Instructor certified. You think I should even bother to join you guys. Maybe I'll just stay home and snorkel my pond.

At your age it might be the safest option. Do dive ops offer AARP discounts or do they compensate with discounted coffee and bran muffins to help keep things regular?

Wiz would you be snorkeling at home in the pond alone with no certification???? YOUR GONNA DIE MAN! Sorry didn't mean to shout at everyone just wanted grampa Wiz to hear what I was saying.

Crap!!! You're right, I never got my SOLO CERTIFICATION SNORKELING CARD; I'm illegal again!
