Lake Michigan Charters
2008 Charter Schedule
You can download the 2008 charter schedule HERE (.pdf format) Minimum 4 divers on all charters. All charter fees are paid directly to Capt Bill Prince.
Charters may nor may not have dive guides. Each diver must be Advanced Open Water certified or higher, unless the charter is specifically planned for new divers. Each diver is responsible for bringing their own equipment, which must include mask, fins, 6.5mm wetsuit or drysuit, gloves, hood, boots, cold-water ready regulator, alternate air source (octopus), depth gauge or computer, submersible pressure gauge,
BCD, tank(s) weights and light(s). Technical charters require a minimum certification of Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedures or equivalent. Pony bottles and wreck reels are required if penetration dives are planned. Weather conditions can and do occasionally alter dive plans; the captain's decisions are final.
