Wisconsin wreck
Went out on Little Alexandria this morning w/ Greg (Shipwreck Adventures) to dive the Wisconsin in Kenosha. Had a great dive, water was a little chilly. My computer showed 36 F, floor to ceiling. Visability was quite good, probably about 30-40 ft. Although this was my first time on the Wisconsin, some of the other guys said it has broken apart since last time they were out there, and that a portion of it collapsed.

Furthermore, a certain someone had a small leak in his drysuit. When asked jokingly if it was a defective p-valve, he licked the inside of his suit and replied "Nope." Too funny.

Great day on the SS Wisconsin!!  Like Matt said, a bit on the chilly side...  In hindsight, maybe a 45 minute bottom time was a bit "ambitious".  Eric and I cut it short about 40 but the 77 minute run time really made the hot soup and chili at the Boathouse that much better.

Time to send the suit in for warranty service... ;D
