Superior, Maderia- Aug 24th

[nomads]

Wright, If the water is calm you can swim to the Maderia fairly easily. You need to park at the access road just north of the State Park entrance. You then must hike through the woods to the beach. It is a 10-15 minute surface swim to the buoy which is attached to the stern. Just decend. The bow is about 100 yds away toward the cliff(when you get there you will know what I mean). If the water is calm, you can see the outline of the ship approximately 50' below. You should plan you dive to about 80'. Its a faily easy dive with calm water. If you have waves then the surface swim becomes a challenge. I suggest two dives, one on the stern and one on the bow. Surface temp. now is about 60 degrees. I exect it will be pretty cold below 60 ft.
