    I'm so sorry, too. Wish there was another boat or another organization; that is so sad.

    That’s really petty of the boat owner. What a shame.

    Tradd, I just had to share the newest shipwreck with you from last week up here:

    It looks completely normal down there on the bottom. Amazing.

    Tradd, I’m sorry to hear that.During this period of unemployment maybe it’s fine to give up your hobby for a while. But is that the only boat that goes out on the Great Lakes With divers?. Do you mean there’s no one else who services divers?

    My local dive boat operator has a boat out of Chicago, Milwaukee, and one on the side of Michigan’s Thumb. I’d have to go up to Milwaukee for two other dive boats, but I’m fully expecting the owner to try to get me banned on the two other Milwaukee boats owned by different people. Really vindictive jerk.

    Because my dive shop is owned by the same people who own the charter boat, I would have to find another dive shop for air fills and service if I wanted to keep diving. I'm not sure. I have two friends who have already indicated what they would buy of my gear.

    I saw that on FB when it sunk. Reports were that they had 10 people on that boat, which was way too many.

    Yes, 10 people is correct, they had to be rescued by the Coast Guard, who took them for medical attention as water was 45 degrees. Supposedly, as that sounds very cold for June 19 but of course they were far out.

    That water temp is normal on the Great Lakes!

    It can't possibly be that close to shore as I have swum in it and I would never be able to swim in something that cold.

    Okay, just checked on where I swim, today:
