Straits of Mackinac

[Chris H]

We did six excellent dives in the Straits last weekend.

Shipwreck Adventures, , is a class act any way you look at it. The Little Alexandria comfortably holds 6 divers and has some of the best benches I've used. To make it even better, Greg fills on site and will do air, Nitrox, or Tri-Mix, so you don't have to mess around with fills at a shop that may or may not be open.

We dove the Cedarville (bow) twice on Friday morning, then the Wm. H. Barnum in the afternoon. The Barnum is in ~70 ft and the waves/weather were picking up in the afternoon so we decided this would be good.

Saturday morning we opted for one long dive on the Eber Ward, instead of two short ones, and then went back to the Barnum in the afternoon. Visibility was good, and the water temp was 51 degrees at the bottom! It was around 55 degrees on the 20ft stop, but there wasn't really a noticeable thermocline.

Sunday we did one long dive on the William Young, and packed up and called it a weekend.

Great weather, great diving, and warm water!
