View Full Version : Straits Of Mackinac June 1-4
do it easy

A friend of mine has booked a charter to dive in the Straits of Mackinac. The dates are June 1-4, 2008. We're looking to fill up a few seats still, so check your calendars. The charter costs $400. We'll be diving off of Greg Such's (http://www.shipwreckadventures.com/) boat the Little Alexandria. We are planning on recreational dives.
I did this trip last year and we did several dives on the Cedarville, the Eber Ward, and the Barnum. This is a great oppurtunity to dive in Lake Michigan and Lake Huron on the same trip!!! The wrecks are in very good condition.
Mackinaw City (http://www.mackinawcity.com/) is a big tourist destination and there are plenty of things to do in the area for non-divers, including the imfamous Mackinaw City Pub Crawl :eek: This is also a great place to eat whitefish- Great Lakes history never tasted so good!

Should be a good time. Especially with Tony, Brett, and Greg. A recreational trip would be cool. At least Greg won't have the time to throw pennies (or worse) while you're on deco. I would go, but I'll be doing Presque Isle the week before. I don't think the wife would allow it. :(

I would love to do this, but that is 3 weeks before I get a wife, so I know that wont happen. Besides, the close to the wedding date, I need to save money for the Hawaii trip anyway. Maybe another one will run later in the year.

Tony's pub crawl would make for a great Bachelor party!:2205: Then you could recover at the pink pony on the island the following day:D
This area is a great place for advance recreational diving. Big wrecks, moderate depth, and plenty of tourist stuff for the family to do if needed.

Yes the dates are correct. Drive up Saturday and spend a few days diving, then head home. It is really to far to make a mad dash weekend trip. Plus this will Maximize diving incase of a day of bad weather. I get to MI in Mid May and I am there until late June with different groups. Brett's been to Mack three times now and will take great care of his group. If you have a chance this is a great trip to go on.

Yes- the pub crawl!! I still have the secret map.
For those who are less brave, there is also a fudge crawl!
