Unreally good vis in Presque Isle (Great Lakes Pictures)

vlada · 23rd June 2008, 15:58

This is from couple of weeks ago:

Cornelia B. Windiate - 190 ft (60 m) deep. 3-masted schooner with all 3 masts still standing:

Stern shot with 2 masts visible and the forward masts a faint shadow.

Forward mast wiht remains of a x-tree

Stern cabin and a fallen mast.

Typo - 160 ft (50m) deep. Another schooner with the intact bow and bell still in place:

That's some fantastic viz you have there Vlada. Thanks for the great photos, it's really cool to see an old sailing ship preserved in the fresh water. I dived on a 2 mast schooner in the 1000 islands, but the water was green and maybe 50ft viz! -Andy

Thanks for sharing those great pics!!!

**vidodivr** · 23rd June 2008, 17:58

Adrian, you know you wanna come next year, it's not THAT cold

great pictures. any idea what the temp was a depth?

vlada · 23rd June 2008, 19:00

39F (4C) from 190 ft all the way up, although it warmed up to 41F (5C) above 20 ft (6m) by the end of the week.

My second hand Typhoon heating jacket and newly built Salvo custom battery to extend the jacket time to 2.5 hrs came very handy

given 2 hrs run times

Rob, if you promise me pristine wrecks and visibility like those in the pictures, I'll definitely buy and train on a dry suit for next year's trip!

I can't promise you the vis, but I can promise you the wrecks.
