Dive Trips
Prepare to get hooked on scuba diving the moment you slip below the water's surface into the peaceful silence of the undersea world. You'll finally understand what Jacques Cousteau was raving about all those years as you swim alongside graceful manta rays large enough to eclipse the sun's filtered rays, or when you come face to face with a hammerhead sizing you up (he wins). Fortunately, 70 percent of the world is covered in water, so there's never a shortage of great dive sites to feed your submarine cravings.
Upcoming Trips
Dates: July 23 - 27, 2008
Cost: $875
Location: Isle Royale, Lake Superior
Description: Join us for a 5 day wreck-reation filled dive trip! The waters of Isle Royale offer some of the best wreck diving in the world. Isle Royale National Park is a wilderness island located 20 miles from the Minnesota shore of Lake Superior. Beautiful but treacherous islands and shoals surround this 50 mile long island. These shoals have claimed about a dozen large ships. You can dive nine major wrecks of different types on your trip. Food and air is included. Nitrox is available for $75.
Conditions: The diving depths range from 20 feet to 140 feet and all dives must be no decompression. The visibility ranges from 70 feet to 20 feet but generally averages 40 feet. The water temperature around Isle Royale ranges from 39 to 60 degrees and in places will certainly be less than 45 degrees. A good wetsuit, or better yet, a dry suit is recommended. Managing the additional cold water gear and dealing with the deeper depths and an overhead environment makes this challenging diving. Minimum recommended experience is 50 open water dives with experience in shipwreck, deep, and cold water diving.
Deposit: A deposit of $200 is required to hold your spot. There are only 5 spots available, so reserve sooner rather than later! Book by Valentines day 2008 and get a free PADI Wreck Diver or PADI Enriched Air Nitrox class! (materials not included.)
