Three of us from the Rochester area just returned from a tech trip at Isle Royale with Ken Merryman. We had a couple very nice dives on the Kamloops, Congdon stern, and Chisholm engine. Most 20-foot deco stops were in 61F water, which was awesome. Sunday's morning dive was scrapped due to 5-6' waves but by afternoon it calmed down.
Monday was perfect. We dived the Chisholm during calm, sunny conditions, so I brought the camera along for some ambient-light photos. On previous recreational trips we had been limited to 10-12 minutes on the wreck; this time we had over 40min!
John Martin and John Preston check out the stern:
We had enough time to inspect some hull sections that we hadn't seen before:
Unbelievably calm water over the Chisholm:
It wouldn't be Isle Royale without a beautiful sunset:
