[FreediveWI]

The FOX network has a Saturday morning kid's adventure show . They called up my friend Gert, who owns Deep Blue, to do a segement on kids wreck diving in Lake Michigan.

Gert just happened to have two kids who fit the bill perfectly. Acutally, there skills were better than many tec divers I know- great trim, line free ascents while under control, ect.

Next they needed a boat and an underwater photographer. In steps, my father-in-law, Jerry to provide the boat and shoot the underwater video.

I went along as crew and freediver support.

You couldn't have asked for a nicer day out on the lake. It ws FLAT calm and the water was a balmy 68 degrees down to 90'- as deep as we could get. IT was so warm that I did the second wreck in my swiming suit.

The first dive was on the Willy and the second was on the Dredge #6. Vis was good, but not great like in the winter time. When the water warms up that much the vis seems to drop to around 30'. A fair trade-off in my book.

Here are some shots of the day.
