Lake Superior

[Derrick]

Are there any dive sites here that you don't need to be AOW?

<br><br>If you mean not diving deeper than 60', there are quite a few. The the wreck, "Ely" which is protected by a break wall in Two Harbors is pretty cool. It is in about 30' - 40' of water, but you need at least a small boat to get there.<br><br>You can do two wrecks from the shore that are fun. The "Madera", which is a long swim starts around 40' and a good portion of it below 60'. This is near Split Rock light house. Some parts of the wreck are deeper than 100'.<br><br>You can easily do a shore dive on the "Hesper" with the new breakwall at the marina. You can drive your car, unload your gear and only have to hump it over some very big boulders which I see everyone doing now. The "Hesper" is flat but still fun to dive. It is spread out in a V shape in about 40' of water. The wreck is next to the breakwall so no surface swim is involved.<br><br>Derrick
