Munising - JacobsonC2 - 07-19-2005 i dove munisinglast friday. we dove with shipwreck tours. they were a great charter and went out on short notice with what originaly was supposed to be just two divers but, they rounded another up. Dove of the fun time which was a roomy 6 pack boat with a great ladder. We dove the Smith moore and the Selvik. Bottom temps were 41 and viz was 35ft or so on the Selvik. Viz was only about 20ft on the smith moore. weather was great! sunny with less than one footers. here is a pic of the propeller on the selvik, a tug. Re: Munising - JacobsonC2 - 07-19-2005 one more form the selvik. Re: Munising - schultz - 07-19-2005 Schweet... a bunch of us are going up there in late August.... it's been a few years (2002?) since I've been up there, and I'm looking forward to it once again... Got anymore photos? Re: Munising - Dewit2it - 07-28-2006 Just got back from Munising today. Only had myself and my father along, so could only snorkel. ![]() On the GB boat tour, I talked with the captain about what I saw at the pilings, and she told me that they have had some seche tides with some of the storms this year. The tides can drop the level of Munising Bay a couple of feet. She also told me that almost nobody is doing shore dives anymore. My guess is that the dive sites aren't being talked about, and all anyone knows about are the wrecks. The pilings are a cool night dive with a bunch of buddy teams in the water. Keep your flag line short to cut down on hangups. (~20-25') Also, make sure your flag is the proper size for Michigan. (16"x14" w 3 1/2" wide stripe, minimum size) And don't try to use your compass, you WILL get lost. I think there may be a iron deposit just under the bottom. The compass will work on the surface, but can be 180 off on the bottom. Depth won't go below 20' unless you go really far out. At night the perch come into the pilings.

Re: Munising - Dewit2it - 07-29-2006 It is right behind Munising High School. You can use the parking lot behind the school as the building also houses the public library. The panoramic shot was taken from the boat launch by the dive/GB boat tour dock. This shot was taken from the school parking lot. Re: Munising - Omicron - 07-31-2006 This is a sweet dive. I've done it a few times now and have never regretted it. Especially cool as a night dive with a bunch of lights in the water, like you said. |
