The "DIR crowd" from Deepmidwest has gotten grants from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Foundation to do surveys on the deeper wrecks.

If your into shallow stuff you can probably get away with whatever you want to. For the deep stuff you need a team to do it safely and actually get any work done-
surveying VS. site-seeing.

There is a lot of misinformation in the Midwest area about DIR actually is and isn't. Everyone in the club is an excellent diver with a rather laid-back attitude. Some people are under the impression that all DIR divers are George clones- this is not the case with DEEP Midwest.

Some members of the club are former WKPP divers and there are other club members who are not only trimix/cave divers, but hyperbaric doctors as well.

It is a very proffesional orginization with a perfect safety record- something that other deep divers in the area cannot claim. If your interested in going deep, safely, they would be the first place that I would check into.

They have surveys planned this summer for the
Norland 65'
Wisconsin 135'
Grace Channon 186'
Lakeland 235'
Judge Hart 210'
Gunilda 270'

Any group that does these kind of dives on a regular basis AND can do 3-d model surveying in the process must be doing something right.
