Was invited By Jitka from Shipwreck Explorers on their personal dives week with Dave a meg instructor. I dove 6 different wrecks in four days. The deepest was the Florida. one of the most supprising was the Kyle Spangler. I hit between 165 feet 185 feet. Deep. I learned about re breathers. I also learned about crewing. I also learned how to do a Jerrsy tag line. The safest way to descend on a wreck in the great lakes. I came back a wreck diver. All these wrecks are WORLD CLASS.
