Wow.....what a DB
I am looking to organize a trip to the Straits of Mackinaw for a group of SB friends in 2013. This is very early to be looking into things but since I have no real experience up there, and I like to plan (gives me something dive related to look forward to), I figured I would come to those that do have the experience.
I am thinking of doing to trip in early August to take advantage of the warmer weather. Water temps are not really a consideration for us. Is there any reason for avoiding that time of year? What about recommendations on charters? The # of divers is up in the air but it is starting with 6 of us and will grow from there. Obviously we would want a safe, comfortable boat but we are divers and are not looking for anything fancy. The trip would likely be 2 days of driving and 3 days of diving (i.e. long weekend sort of thing).
From there I think I can piece together a plan but will no doubt have additional questions along the way. Thank you for any input you might have.
