  • The Northerner is a great beginners dive as it lies in only 15' of water just off shore from the Water Park. There is an abundance of fish and interesting artifacts to see.

    Thanks for making this video. It's nice to see the zebra mussels haven't invaded it. I'm a new diver and this site would definitely interest me!

      Yes they were. The ship got hung up on a reef earlier in their trip and they ended up dumping hundreds overbaod in an attempt to float free. It worked but the damage was considerable both to the environment and the ship which eventually burned at the dock.
      It was all very suspicious and the capt. Was relieved as a result. Folks suspected insurance fraud but it was never proven.

    Hey thanks for sharing! My son and I are going to be in Ironwood, MI this spring so not too far away. A few years ago I mapped as many shallow shipwrecks as I could find yet I did not have this one.
    We are in the works of getting our dry suit certification. Hopefully we get the dry suits at the end of April and then we can try a Lake Superior shore dive. We know we need to be properly skilled with buoyancy, so we are planning a few days at Gilbert, MN at the platform. We are only Master Divers and have done a majority of our diving in wet suits around the lakes of Minnesota and South Dakota.

    • @DonFassbender

      If you're coming that early, a drysuit is highly recommended. I use a drysuit most months, but in the summer my daughter and I use wetsuits. At 13 I'm hesitant to get her into drysuit diving. She does live the sport. It's nice that you have family to dive with.
      Let me know how you do 👍

    That’s pretty cool you can dive it so close to shore! Do you ever find zebra mussels on the shipwrecks?

    • @DonFassbender
      @DonFassbender  2 года назад +4

      Thank goodness, no. There must not be a lot of boat traffic from the lower lakes in this area. We need to dive more the next time you're in the area.

      @@leannkennedy6568 It was wonderful, Leann! Plenty of dives but only one day at the beach. Nina wanted to tour the university of Miami and so I had to arrange for that while were there. Perhaps in a few years I'll be going down to Florida more often??? We were there a little over a week. Not long enough :)

      In the fire? No deaths were recorded. She burned at the dock under suspicious circumstances. The captain was relieved buy it doesn't appear that he was actually charged.
