Diving in the Straits

[FreediveWI]

We always dragged a buddies boat up there so that we could dive what we wanted to.

This allowed us to hit the Newell Eddy less than a year after she was found- still the single best wreck I ever dove, but am sure that she has since been stripped or covered with mussels. The tip of her mast is at 38' with the crow's next at 90'. Follow one of the three masts down to the deck at 155' and the bottom is at 167'. There was all kinds of stuff just lying on the deck. She is only a couple of miles away from the Bently- 170'.

Another, shallower, wreck that the local boats don't hit much is the Cayuga. She sits in 96' of water and has three different deck levels you can swim. She was well worth the extra distance to dive. She is a couple of hundred feet long and still has salvage ponttons on her. There is even a sunken dive barge next to her that is rumored to have a hard-hat diver beneath her.

I would have to suggest Greg Such, hands down, as the guy to go with for the tec, or even rec, charters.
