We used to have a buoy tender very similar to that on Lake Michigan. (Named the Mesquite). She's a popular dive spot now, sitting on the bottom of Lake Superior off the infamous Keweenaw Peninsula

Nothing says "Respect" like a Coast Guard Cutter.

And think of the extended diving possible with a 48,000+ gallon fuel tank. Whoooeeee !!!
