Wow could of been a great day to dive!

We dove the Niagara. I had two other divers with me and thier gear. Got the old boat up to 22 mph. Not bad out of that 70 horse. The lake flattened out nicely mid day. I had gone out previously and thrown a marker on the wreck. We hooked it first try. Surface temperature was thirtynine and bottom temp was around thirtyfive. Vis was around forty feet, so not too bad. Got a thirty minute dive before my dive buddy gave me the I'm freezing sign. I dove "dry"(except for a leak around my crotch of course) so except for my hands I was just fine. I probably could have gone another fifteen minutes or so. We did the main wreck and the boilers. Not much in the way of fish life today. There were some huge lawyers on the wreck today though. I'll have to invite one home for dinner sometime. I understand they are quite good. A great day to be out on the lake as always.

Wow! wish I was set up! Hey Got a bottel of Aquaseal for that leak~!That is nice vis!
Hey when do they bouy her Jim? Also on Washington Island the guy at the Grainery cooks a mean batch of Lawyers! Just think before the perch ran out they were trash fish,now folks pay big$$ for them ugly mutants!
and Im thinking last time his brother with the tug on the Island that catches them for him said they were in short supply,maybe we got a new gimic grab them off the Niagra,Northerner,and so on sell them!!
dive good -dive safe-dive with a full tank!

The Niagara usually gets bouyed in May. Last year it was around Memorial day if I remember right. Its easy enough to find and hook as the engines are pretty big and the wreck is fairly shallow. I'll give you a demo sometime if you like, just shoot me a line or give me a call.

I got 6 dives in on March 27,28 and 29th.

Only 3mm wet suit but it was enough.

Water was 75*+, vis around 150' did some wrecks @103'.

Had whales swimming close by and got to see them surface too.

So much for Oahu and now back to the snow and ice.
