I love this. Thank you. I know nothing, about diving, but I am an avid Erie fisherman, and it's so cool seeing those smallmouth. Thank you. real inspiring
+sam mich - There is a great salt lake beneath Lake Erie. If you drill a well in NW PA or OH deeper than 100 feet, you get salt water. There are also salt mines beneath a small part of Lake Erie.
It appears some don't understand that smallmouth wont swim or spawn in polluted water. For instance smallmouth started showing up on the south end of lake Michigan for the 1st time in my lifetime about 10 years ago. before that it was too polluted. The great lakes are cleaner now than they have been for over 75 years.
Actually they do swim and spawn in polluted water. They're swimming and spawning in chartiers crick. One of the most polluted cricks around canonsburg full of PVC, uranium, and now oil and gas from fracking. But the small mouth have been getting smaller and smaller over the years
excellent video, grew up near Lake Erie and now live next to the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi (Flathead) as well as Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park - If you havent already, you should dive our pristine waters!
Dude thanks I always wondered how it looked down there because I fish there and you should have way more subs then what u have all the hard work u should have 100,000 but you earn my sub and thanks again
Would love to see you dive and video off the Mile Long Pier in Lorain. Have always wanted to know the structure and fish around it from underneath. Great Vids and be safe.
Amazing video. I grew up in Cleveland and all I ever knew of Lake Erie was that it was very polluted back in the 60s and 70s. Had no idea there was freshwater sponge at the bottom of the lake.
Interesting! Born in Cleveland in '57. HELP ME I'M DYING was painted over the lake on Lakeshore Boulevard. Left for NYC in '77 ... greetings from France since '94. The scuba test was too hard for me and my spouse at the time disapproved, so I've just made do with snorkeling. This is so, so pretty! Thank you. Uprated.
jaime harrington No, that was actually on some corrugated metal defining the sharp edge of Burke Lakefront Airport, I think. They were not barges, either. They were Great Lakes tankers or something similar, not dragged, self-moving. I only remember one, but you could be right about the two. It would not have been possible to see it, the slogan, from Lakeshore Boulevard, as it was and probably still is called. It was actually fairly far out, but you could see it. It broke in two on its own. They were not for breakwalls. They were part of the landfill thing. Most of Cleveland was swamps and all that down there is landfill. Moses Cleaveland (correct spelling) and his settlers died in droves in the unhealthy swamps. They tried to escape up the Chagrin River, to resettle. When they got to the big falls, he moaned, "This is the river of my chagrin." So now it's Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Epic fail. I had Cleveland History in 3rd grade in East Cleveland, and Ohio History in 8th grade in South Euclid/Lyndhurst. The public schools were excellent. Very, very segregated in many places, though, until well into the seventies. HELP ME I'M DYING was really close to the Lakeshore drive. I also spent a lot of time at the libraries, which were excellent, and my parents told me a lot. :)
jaime harrington Well, I remember seeing it through a lot of the '60s and I also watched the sinking of the ship, and it was not a barge. We went down to see it. By the NIKE station, where we'd often fly kites. It went in on its own steam. It was guided, yes, but it was not a barge. A barge does not have smokestacks or whatever you call them, various decks, and so on. Really, that was not a barge, it was corrugated metal ended the land fill which had made the airport there. I repeat, the boat (ships are for the seas, boats are for water) did not have the slogan on it. It would have been too far to see it from the highway. Even in neon, no-one would have looked on that badly designed killer road. Remember Dead Man's curve a bit farther in? Remember the crib? I knew that area super well, I was also inside the water treatment plant there, remember that? The Crib out in the lake sent it the water to begin processing. I started my journalism career in Cleveland before I got the heck out of that heck-hole, and I still have notes and materials going back to when I was about 12. Sorry, Jaime! Not out on the vessel, on the fabricated land. :) PS: It was not a typical Great Lakes freighter. It was a tad smaller, narrower, more like a "real ship" without the unusual Great Lakes Freighter design, with decks on the bow, decks at the stern, a huge empty deck, and a very broad design for stability since Lake Erie was the shallowest and is still of all the Great Lakes. That's why it got so polluted so badly, but also why it was possible to clean it or improve it so quickly. My father was a skipper and his best friend, whose kids I grew up with, was a Merchant Marine and knew what that was, and it was big but not the usual freighter. They don't have a smokestack where that one did, or whatever you call them. It was big, granted, but not a barge, sorry again.
Ya I lived near it for 20 yrs. Darn thing caused flooding to my home and because the water level so high it came up in my crawlspace as groundwater. I move out to a 3 floor apartment and good riddance to Lake Erie. Even the music in this sounds creepy.
Lake Erie was a shallow inland sea at one time. A million yrs. ago salt in the water but now located beneath the lake. As one person has said, they have salt mines in Cleveland and elsewhere that use the salt for the roads. Ancient history of this area is fascinating!
Thank you for the "tour". When I was a kid we used to do some wreck diving off Marblehead. The perch were so thick you could literally push them out of the way. Very sad to see what the Zebra Mussels have done to the eco system and know that it could have been prevented.
I come from the Finger lakes of NY.They are deep as hell..Seneca which at the South end is Watkins Glen.Seneca drops to 620ft..that's a long ways down...Beautiful waters.
samiam1150 they are called dollose or dolosse they are all over the east break wall in Cleveland and along the coast. They have a big yard of them under the Valley View bridge (I-480)

Back in the 60’s I knew a diver that went down in Lake Erie not far from Toledo. He said you could only see about one foot and there were NO fish and the bottom of the lake was covered with some type of worm or possibly leeches.
I fish Lake Erie out of Luna Pier quite often. In that area there is no structure at all. It's like a parking lot. The lake gradually gets deeper until you hit the shipping channel. Very shallow going from 20 to 40 feet over several miles out.
Sea jacks are huge cement pieces that look exactly like the jacks you played with as a kid. When dumped to mitigate shore erosion,they tend to interlock,and lessen the damage due to strong waves. I first saw them along the Costa del Sol,in Spain.First they dumped rocks,then the jacks further out,to keep the rocks in place, Jacks make great marine habitat,and fishing platforms.
They're called Dollosse or Dolosse and they prevent erosion. The break wall is covered with them. They started dumping them in tge lake after hurricane Sandy I think
We cannot let Cleveland take all of the blame. Erie is the shallowest of the five (especially in the western basin) and thus the warmest. Superior, Michigan, and Huron all have thousands of tributaries from all over the mid-west that carry phosphates from farms and sewage overflows (nutrient rich waste) that dump into the lakes and are all funneled into Erie and then Ontario. It seems to reach a critical mass of nutrients in the western basin where the water is warm. These nutrients feed algae that then turns into massive algae blooms that poison the water.
Has nothing really to do with Cleveland! Lake Erie is so much better now than it was 10-15 years ago. Everyone likes to blame everything on Cleveland. There are a lot of towns and cities around Lake Erie. It's just not Cleveland. And Lake Erie being so shallow with the blooms it has and the water being warmer than the other Great Lakes, makes it look dirty and dingy.
Those are there to prevent erosion. I cant remember what they are called but there is a large yard of them under the Valley View bridge. The breakwall is full of them
I went to Lorain, Ohio for Summer break with my dad (he was born and raised in Ohio) and it was AMAZING!! Btw does anyone know if he was in Ohio or a different state filming this

Still amazed the amount of people think the great lakes are salt water.
+sam mich - There is a great salt lake beneath Lake Erie. If you drill a well in NW PA or OH deeper than 100 feet, you get salt water. There are also salt mines beneath a small part of Lake Erie.
A good part of our rock salt comes from those mines to treat our roads.
The great lakes are the largest concentration of fresh water ON EARTH! Not many people know this,but they know all about the Kardashians.

You're right, they sunk a couple of ore barges to become breakwalls. Some one painted the "I'm Dying" on one of them.

Is the water naturally green or is that a result of pollution run off from Cleveland?
Lake Erie has an abundance of alga caused by phosphorous runoff which makes the lake green.
We cannot let Cleveland take all of the blame. Erie is the shallowest of the five (especially in the western basin) and thus the warmest. Superior, Michigan, and Huron all have thousands of tributaries from all over the mid-west that carry phosphates from farms and sewage overflows (nutrient rich waste) that dump into the lakes and are all funneled into Erie and then Ontario. It seems to reach a critical mass of nutrients in the western basin where the water is warm. These nutrients feed algae that then turns into massive algae blooms that poison the water.

Tyler Juszczyk yes
Those are some nice looking bass. What is the purpose of the sea jacks in the lake?
They form a breakwall
I live n Cleveland y are all those rocks man made shapes?
Because they were probably dumped there. Lake Erie at one point was the most polluted lake in the world and caught on fire because of over pollution.
OWEN061: the cuyahoga river in cleveland caught fire a number of times in the 60's, not lake erie, tho the cuyahoga empties into lake erie.
