gosh! Ok so i live in Nevada and i always want to or have wanted to scuba dive down to the bottom of Pyramid lake. Problem is. parents wont let me, idk how deep it is nor does anyone else in teh world literaly and some of the fish are only found in china. so. ugh! lol but idk why i said al that but i just had to vent my feelings

Ahh, to be on the Rec Diver with that few people. My buddy’s last trip had 20 people, and my up-comming will have 18~20 as well. 8 of us dive TEC rigs (minus the Tri-Mix for these dives), so it really makes it tough!

scuba diving is the single greatest thing on the planet… Go nigaloo reef

research it. then stay withing your lmits, if it’s out of limit, take classes so you can do the ives.(adv nitrox/deco)

I agree!

hey if i go scuba diving there with yu can i crash over at your place for some days?;) i live in sweden thinking about going to michigan

hmm. well I’ll tell you what. when you firm up your plans to come to Michigan let us know.

I am in Green Bay. How much do you charge to go out?

that bridge is tiny

Very cool!
Maybe someday I’ll take up diving,but for now I’ll just enjoy flying PPG.

I grew up in Michigan, but moved down to Florida and have only experienced warm waters. So, what time of year (I assume it was summer) and what was the water temp? Also, did you dive in dry suits. Is there an additional certification recommended (say… for cold water) aside from wreck diving cert? I am fascinated to say the least.

Hello. It was July. Surface temps were probably around 70, but at depth 80-100 temps are close to freazing, at around 38 degrees. We dive in drysuits, but a few others on the boat were in wetsuits. While I personally havent taken a drysuit class, there is one available but not required. This was a recreational dive so since we didn’t penetrate these wrecks (too much) anyone with advanced dive card can go.

Thanks for the information. Perhaps I will come up there to dive someday soon. Be safe!

Your welcome here. Lot of great diving in the great lakes.
I’ve done some cave diving in ginnie springs (dveils ear…) are you near there?

Not really… I live in South Orlando, near Kissimmee. Palatka is about 2.5 hours away. So I’m in the general location, but it’s not in my backyard! Cave diving… you Michiganders sure like that cold water! Cave diving takes another cert card. Personally I’ve been diving in The Keys, Hawaii, Rotan Honduras, and Bonaire… all warm waters and easy diving. My group is looking for a great dive/vacation spot for this summer, perhaps Cancun or Belize.

awesome guitar tune in the begining…

wow that looks like a blast! i just got my scuba gear and scheduled training. i’m just excited dive in the pool!

Thanks! Yes there are a lot of great places to dive in Michigan…including pools!

Looks great, but where are the schools of fish? Do people go fishing there often? The region of Mackninac Island is very beautiful.

That dive I think was at about 100 feet… even in summer probably only about 39 degress. Fish tend to hang out in shallower waters. Mackinac is beautifual and there are many fishing spots,

Thanks a lot for taking time to respond, Rick!
