Another truly classic Lake Michigan wreck dive...

The Milwaukee is a 340' railroad car ferry that sank during a storm in 1929. Recently the subject of an episode of Deep Sea Detectives, the wreck lies in about 125' of water, upright and largely intact.

This is a morning charter aboard Jerry's big tug, departing from her berth in the Milwaukee River. Two dives (sorry, no long decompression) for recreational divers looking to experience on of the best wreck dives in Lake Michigan. Come follow in the footsteps of Chatterton and Kohler and see what all the fuss is about. This dive is at the limits of recreational diving so novice divers should sit this one out.

There are only a couple of seats still available, call Scuba Emporium at (708) 226-1614 or pm me for more information.

Let's get wet!

I'd love to dive that wreck again this year, but I'll be out on N'Pursuit that day.

Enjoy!!!

I would love to dive it again, too, but I am doing my trimix checkout dives the weekend before, and I dont know if I will have the cash flow to go up there the following weekend. Keep me updated though. I really want to get back up there again.
