Dive Buddy List

[PJK]

Even though the GLSPS (Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society) is not a dive club, a list of well organized clubs would be a very good idea.
Minnesota Frogman is one that I know of. However, the lead person of that dive club (Cliff Wheeler) pasted away recently from cancer. I do not know if the club is still going. I can find out and post it for everyone.

The GLSPS is a Society that has paying members. Some of the other funds are raised by fund raising efforts like the "Dive Into The Past" show coming up this month Saturday Feb 28th. Other merchandise, such as t-shirts, special published books and etc, are also used to support efforts to preserve underwater Historical shipwrecks on Lake Superior.
Our group mainly covers the North Shore and Isle Royale.
We also do some preservation work in the Apostles Islands off Bayfield Wisconsin.

If we do any other diving at all, we are not allowed to use the Societies funds. In fact, the divers involved with some of the projects like the "Ely" are mostly funding the projects themselves, (except for a few materials given to us by local businesses). We are a very dedicated group of people who are making sure that diving on the shipwrecks are not taken from you the divers. I know that everyone I talked to that has dived on these shipwrecks, highly enjoyed themselves.

We should all pitch in and help Preserve the Historical Shipwrecks as much as we can. We can do this by joining the GLSPS for $20.00 and become an active member in the Society. We are always looking for new active members and supporters.

Check out the GLSPS web sit at, to receive more detail as to what we are about. What better way to meet new dive buddies. We have a group of divers that have a great deal of experience that everyone can learn from!!

Come hang out with us and tell lots of diving stories!

Hope to see and meet you all at the Annual "Dive Into The Past" show sponsored by the GLSPS and many other supporters.

Safe Diving
