Madiera Wreck Anniversary Dive

[mnj1233]

I kow most of you are not from my area however we are planning a dive on the Madiera (Lake Superior North Shore) on the 100th anniversary Sunday. Trying to convince my friends to dive it at the actual wrecking time however they dont want t dive at 2:00 a.m. So its sounds like noon Sunday, all are welcome!!!!!!

Am I correct that this is a shore dive?

Yes it is. Although I run a charter to this wreck in the summer, we just dive it from shore in the winter months. Swim is about 150 yrds from the beach. Depth ranges from 120' to 35' at the bow section. Nice dive and very scenic area if your ever up this way! P.S. I used to live on Irving & Lakeshore Dr. anywhere near you?

These days I live in Lincolnwood, just off the Edens at Touhy, but I know Lakeshore and Irving well. A shore dive to a Lake Superior wreck might just be worth the 8 hour drive. Better for me if it were on a Saturday, but I know for historical reasons you cannot. I gotta give this some thought!
