I'm trying to get a group together for Spring of 2013.
We will be diving the Ann Arbor 5. It is a DEEP wreck located off of South Haven, MI.
MSRA - The wreck of the Ann Arbor no. 5
The chartering vessel will be the Elsie J., a historic 1945 tug-trawler.

(Video of the ship, on the way to the Rockaway shipwreck).
Tentative cost is $125, although I'll see if I can negotiate a discounted rate for a larger group. The captain holds a USCG Master license and is a PADI instructor.
The stern pokes into the the 130 ft recreational limit, although the lake floor is about 165 ft or so.
If you don't know much about the Ann Arbor 5 or the other rail freighters that used to be a common sight on lake Michigan, read up! They're quite impressive.
PM me your name / phone / email if you'd like to be put on the list.
