Let me start by saying that I hope this thread is OK - Ladydiver asked that trip posting be cleared by her first - I PM'd her yesterday but have not received a response. I can't wait to post this so please, be gentle.
Anyhow - my husband & I are desperately trying to get up to dive Isle Royale in August, but are having trouble with the dates. As of now, they have openings August 16-19 but don't want to go with just 2 divers. I understand that if 2 more people sign up, they'll do it. I believe that a 6 pack is the maximum.
This is a liveaboard cold-water dive boat that does Isle Royale in Lake Superior. The trip is 4 days. You arrive the night before and board the boat the AM of the 16th. They feed you, beverages are pretty much BYO. Then you get to dive some of the coolest cold-water wrecks around!
A little background- Isle Royale is the mecca of Great Lakes diving. Wilderness area including moose and wolves, many many cool intact wrecks that start as shallow as 10 feet and become tech dives as you go deeper!
Dry suits are HIGHLY recommended and they won't let ya on the boat unless you have the proper sort of reg, etc. So be forewarned about that... please read the website for complete info...
Here's a couple links about the dive op and the wrecks -

Please, if you're interested, contact RLT divers directly and sign up! Their contact info is on their website, ask for Ralph.
NOTE: we have no interest whatsoever in this trip or operation, except that we REALLY WANT TO GO!
