Memorial Weekend 2005
Just return home from an outstanding trip to Presque Isle MI.  5 days of just awesome diving and weather.  This is a must dive location for any technical diver.  Dives were 150-210.  I am just exhausted, and have a lot to catch up on from the week of being out of the office with no internet.  A full report will be up later, with pictures.  We shot a few hours of film and 200 pictures.  One of my memory sticks is not transfering???  But any how.  Here is a photo from the typo to get started.

Re: Memorial Weekend 2005
some really great shots Greg.  I'm sorry to hear about the memory stick. 
I had a similar thing happen with a SmartCard in my Olympus 4040.  It started with the card not being able to trasfer info to the computer (even with a card reader) and ended up that my digital camera was causing major errors on the cards.  Eventually the camera failed to write anything to any card and would simply lock itself up when  attempting to write any pic just snapped.  :'(
Hopefully you will fare better.

The new memory stick is the one not working in my reader, but I can see the pictures on my camera.  Hoipefully I'll get it figured out.  All the above shots were captured off video, which gains some out compared the still shots taken.  Oh well, live and learn.

Re: Memorial Weekend 2005
We just returned from a Detour to Presque Isle, MI.  (pun intended)

We had more fun than should be legal, and the diving was great. 

We were weathered out on Tuesday and Wednesday so we packed up our stuff and left at 5am to go to Presque Isle.  The first day we did one dive on the Windiate.  Day two was better because I got more than 4 hours of sleep the night before the dives.  We dived the Typo and the John J. Audubon the second day.  vis was good on these wrecks, but there was a hell of a surface current on the Audubon.

Saturday morning we headed to the Florida.  This was the most amazing wreck I've ever seen.  It is immense.  We did a 25 minute dive and I was wishing it was 30. 

The visibility wasn't quite as good as the photos below from earlier in the year, but it was still at least 50ft and the thermocline at 70 made for comfortable deco when the current wasn't kicking our butts.
