Hi
In Kingston there are a quite a few charter boats.
It all depends on the size of your group.
Most of the boats we have up here can carry a max of 6 or 8 divers.
Then there are a couple that can carry up to 20.
But have a long waiting list.
Try Divercity and Limestone dive charters.
I have been on 98 shipwrecks in a 15 mile radius around Kingston.
So there is alot to see
I have also set up lines on the bottom to a few wrecks from shore, for the windy days that we cannot get out on the lake.
If you want to see some pic's of the wrecks
Check out Preserve Our Wrecks [POW] Kingston
As far as skills, we have made most of our wrecks "diver frendly"
Most of them are in the 60 to 80 foot range.
We have set up 2000 lbs. blocks of cement beside the wrecks, with a 1 inch rope tied to it, that is held at the surface with a float
We have also collected all of the artifacts that have been found around these wrecks and display them on the wrecks.
Take pictures and nothing else. Leave them for your kids to see in 20 years.
In August we have a temp around 70 f. at the surface, and drops about 10 degrees below the first thermocline, about 60 feet.
We also have a algee bloom to deal with in the surface water.
Vis. can be very limited in the algee bloom, but becomes very clear below that, as much as 200 feet on a good day.
let me know what size your group is, and what you want to do,
and I will try to guide you in the right direction.
Hope this helps
