Great Lakes Diving Guide
Diving in the Great Lakes? Arguably some of the greatest shipwrecks in the world are in the Great Lakes. Well preserved due to the lack of salinity, there are over 50 types of vessels forever laying on the bottom of the Lakes. There have been over 1,000 shipwrecks identified and many thousands more waiting to be discovered. The Great Lakes Diving Guide contains information on over 900 shipwrecks! Yes, 900. Not a typo. If there is such a book as the bible of Great Lakes wreck books, this is it.

Practically any wreck that you will be diving is listed here. Contained in the wreck information are such essentials as the location of each wreck (LORAN and LON/LAT), depth of wreck, and level of dive (novice, intermediate, advanced, technical). If you are going to dive in the Lakes, this book is essential.

Great Lakes Shipwrecks Photo Album
Covering all five Great Lakes, including selections of Isle Royale National Park, Straits of Mackinac, and more, Gary has selected over 450 of his personal favorite photos to be published in this book. Gary calls the Great Lakes wrecks the “most photogenic”, “most spectacular to behold”, and the “most tragic”.

From deep penetrations into the forecastle to silhouettes of propellers against a sea of green, this book does not disappoint. Bathrooms, deadeyes, china, paintings, ornate figureheads, lanterns, engine rooms, electrical panels, and bronze bells grace the pages. The wrecks pictured here are not just steel-hulled iron ore wrecks, there are wrecks that were built in the 1790’s!

This book is for the once a year diver, every weekend diver, wreck diver, seasoned underwater explorer, and the old man down the street who traveled thousands of miles working aboard ship in the Great Lakes.
