Wolf River Dive Report

[Carvendive]

Nice site.
Todd and Doug, nice dive reports! Between the two of them I was able to get a good idea of your conditions. I use to dive Lake Superior and several of the UP rivers back in the late 60's but I'm currently stuck with the Puget Sound (which is a lot warmer than where you guys are.)

The sturgeon sightings sound like a blast. Here it's mostly macro life (which is my love - especially now that I've got my camera and strobes) plus the occassional Wolfeel, Giant Pacific Octo, and 6 gill shark (for large critters). Oh, I forgot - the sealions. Night diving is a blast with them. Sometimes, out of nowhere all of a sudden here is this face about 6-10" from your faceplate which can make for a porta-potti kind of dive They love it when you use your dive light to spot perch. Wham! and a few scales glisten in the dive light beem.

Viz is a little better. We often get days of 6-15' but then on some days when the blooms aren't strong you'll get upwards of 40-55'.

I'm counting down to retirement, and looking at retiring back to Wisconsin - Shawano area (originally from 'da UP). Looks like the Wolf river, Door County and the Apostle Islands will become my new "Local" dive sites. - Can't wait!

As far as a GOOD Local Dive Shop, what would you recommend?
