  • I decided to go dive in the Muskegon channel on a recent weekend but had a wee bit of an issue on the first attempt Saturday. By Sunday I was all dried out and ready to get it right!
    When I arrived at the submarine museum, ice had been pushed into the channel from the sizable waves on Lake Michigan and filled it up completely.
    Join me for an underwater look at the historic Silversides submarine, and any treasures or trash I might find along the way!

    Oh Man, it made me shiver just watching you slip down into the water! Cool footage from underneath though. Thanks for sharing!

    That pancake ice is very neat! What a fun dive when you were finally able to get down and stay dry. I dove on that sub once...cool shore diving site, for sure.

    Oh man, this brings back my memory of jumping in the bonna terre mine waters and forgetting to zip up my drysuit after a surface interval. Quickest I have ever gotten out of the water in my life. I still managed to make the dive after dumping the water out. It was 55-60 degrees unlike your 32-35 degree water though. Stay safe and keep the videos coming. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them.

      Wow, that’s pretty tough to still dive 😆 those things certainly happen but we at least try to learn from them 😊⚓️

      @@BlueyesBelow ya, scuba is a continuously learning hobby. I have added a check to all my dives right before getting in the water. In addition to checking my breathing gas I will check my drysuit zipper is secure in on the seating surface.

      I’ll keep an eye out next time I’m there. I’ll get a bit more exploration in when the ice goes away. Just being cautious and not venturing too far from the exit!

    Just dive wet, dump some warm water in the wetsuit, gain a little weight so it fits tighter

      I thought about it but I’m not sure if my wetsuit will even fit anymore. It’s been probably eight years 😆

    Cool video! What rebreather system are you using?

    Was this the sub they used to track the german uboats in the great lakes 😛

    I have the same hanger to dry out my wetsuit

      Works super good, just quite big for traveling with it 👍🏼

    It seems my next big purchase is going to be a dry suit. Ha ha ha, it’s only money.

      It’s a game changer to have a drysuit and dry gloves for diving. Especially early season. I’ve got a couple suits now and like each for their own reasons. Try to go to a good shop and try out some of the rental dry suits before buying one.
