First Dives Carl D. Bradley Stern
I'm happy and fortunate to be able to report that John Scoles and I, with the help of Captain Greg Such of Shipwreck Adventures () successfully reached the stern of the Carl D. Bradley in northern Lake Michigan on Friday July 23.
This wreck lies in 360 feet of water and is the second largest shipwreck in all of the great lakes. Only the Edmund Fitzgerald is larger. More than 30 of her crew died here and I wish to express my sorrow again to the families of this tragic sinking. We made 3 dives with a grand total bottom time of 70 minutes. Two dives were on the stern and one dive on the bow. We used Inspiration closed circuit rebreathers for these dives. About 30 minutes of raw video was recorded and will be edited soon. I'll also post some still images as soon as I can. This expedition marks the climax of more than 2 years of preparation, training, and about 30 practice dives at Wazee to 320+ feet. It would not have been possible without the support of Captain Greg Such and a partner like John Scoles.
