Don't really have a set time in mind. Was thinking earlier is probably better for sea condition.

Hey, I can't believe it's taken me this long to do this. Here's the deal. I've got a 28 foot Grady White that I NEED to take diving.:D I moved down from Michigan 5 months ago, got my boat here 3 months ago, and haven't been diving yet. To save a little a face, I do boat quite a bit...

One vote here for Zeagle Flathead.

I switched from ScubaFlows to Zeagles this year and couldn't be happier. I dive with a lot of folks in the Great Lakes, have tried many regs and the Zeagles are the best I've used so far. Been deep in Lake Michigan and it's damn cold down there. They're awesome regs!

The experience is anytime you are on a vessel. Working, patron, boating on you own, working at the dock... anything. The rules are pretty "loose" as to what's considered a "day" on the water. For what you seem to want to do. Take a USCG Aux. or Power Squadron "boating safety" course and...

I think I'd consider putting Grady and Pursuit on the short list as well. Everglades are great boats but they're pricey. Grady and Pursuit are the other two I'd consider for apples to apples. I think the Hydra Sports is a bit below the other three quality wise. Being in Florida there are...

The thing that puzzles me about all this is that I get bashed for having top dollar equipment free flow. The other thing I've noticed is that SP divers are the only ones that ever talk about free flows. DA, I have NOT made up my mind as I would really like to find a solution to this that...

If I stop using the SP regs that free flow, it means I'm out shopping for new regs. All, I repeat ALL, mine and all but my wifes newest MK17 have free flowed. That's like 6 sets of regs less the one first stage that hasn't free flowed. It was a full blown free flow. The "little hiss" is SOP...

Just wanted to get some feedback as to weather or not I should be done with ScubaPro or not. Here's the deal. I had another free flow with ScubaPro regs this weekend. I have had many, I mean many, free flows with ScubaPro regs. Up until this weekend they were all with MK25 and S600 or...

I love the people that try to be the scuba police. We Great Lakes divers are a hearty bunch. We don't need no special training. Everything we dive would need some special class if we listened to the agencies. I'm not advocating unsafe diving but send some card collectors to the Straits and...

Reef--N 43.12.990 W 086.20.499 Salvor--N 43.15.615 W 086.22.119 Cort--End of North Breakwall, outside, anchor about even with the Army Corp. of Eng. yellow castle, swim to breakwall turn right and you'll run into it. The Reef is leftover stuff from the breakwalls or similar stuff that they...

I'd go a touch north to Muskegon for shallow diving. There are three dives within three miles of the Muskegon pierheads that are all pretty good dives.

About the only area I can think of is the "artificial reef" about a mile south of the Muskegon south breakwall. If you line up the end of the breakwall and the water treatment plant on shore your just on the outer corner of the reef. It's a bunch "left over" stuff from when they built the...

I'm not sure that Ironsides qualifies as lots. While it is a very nice dive, it's the only dive out of Grand Haven. Muskegon there's three shallower dives, reef, Cort, and Salvor and Port Sheldon there's the bubbler. Other than that, there really isn't much within 20 miles of the Grand Haven...

Other than the Henry Cort which is either a long swim or walk out the North Muskegon breakwall, there isn't any "shore" diving in Muskegon. There are a couple of places in Muskegon Lake that people dive from shore but I don't see the reason. Check with Tim at Advance Scuba as he does...

Although I've only dove it twice, I'll give you a little information and those from that side of the lake can chime in and correct me. 120 to the bottom and mostly flat--correct, my wife and I averaged 100 or less for most of the wreck. there are a few places, the pilothouse if I remember...

Yeah, I know this is short notice and I know I'm a diver but here's the deal. There's a boat at Jefferson Beach on the marina mile right now that needs it's bottom cleaned. I'm planning on running this boat starting tomorrow afternoon about 2 around Michigan to Saugatuck. The boat came out...

Check with Tim at Advance Scuba in Holland, MI. He may have some charters going out of Muskegon around then. I'll keep up on this thread and PM you if I'll be around then. I live in Muskegon but I'm keeping a boat in the Straits this year. I'm picking up another boat on Thursday to have...

I have two of the roll control four tank set ups. One on each side of the cockpit of my boat. I mounted them on boards and then to the existing fishing rod holders mounted under the gunnels. When I switch boats, all that will be left are four holes in the rod racks on each side of the cockpit...

My Grady was the same way. I used roll control mounted to teak. Then I used stainless "L" brackets and mounted those to the recessed rod holders. I can put four tanks on each side, still use the rod holders for wash brushes and such, (I don't fish) and with the fold down brackets, the whole...
