This is one of my all time favorite images that I've shot in the Great Lakes. It's meaningful because It was a fun day with friends that are no longer with us (Jim and Susan). We spent several summers together in the Great Lakes and I can still feel their excitement helping me out with this shot. The Side wheel steamer Detroit is a beautiful ship that sank in a collision in 1854. Those intact wooden paddle wheels always leave me in awe even after they've been underwater for 170 years!

By Cheryl Patterson Let’s talk candidly for a moment. We hear it everywhere, that the dive community is shrinking. While there is much discussion on reviving our industry – and believe me, we are very much dedicated to doing just that – realistically, a rebound is not going to happen overnight...

Spending my 14th year on the Great Lakes diving the most amazing shipwrecks in the world. I've dived all 5 Great Lakes but thereis something spooky and amazing about Superior. The lack of invasive mussels means the water is darker and not as clear but seeing the details on the wrecks is very special. I'm currently diving in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan but dreaming of Superior.

⚡️📸 Stunning Photograph of a Telescope Fish! 🐟❤️

The Telescope Fish (Gigantura) is a truly mesmerizing deep-water sea creature.

It is named by its unusually large eyes, which resemble a pair of tiny telescopes sticking out on each side of its head.

These oversized eyes allow the Fish Telescope to see in the perpetual darkness of the deep ocean.

“ OHH WOW THAT CAVE WAS SO BEAUTUFUL !!! 🤩 “

Is a sentence we hear often after our dives ! CAVE DIVING’S BEAUTY IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR DRAW 🙌🏻 We’ve listed reasons why it captivates cave divers:

💫 Unexplored tranquility: Caves offer a glimpse into a hidden world, untouched and pristine. The silence and stillness create a sense of peace unlike anything experienced in the open water.

💫 Dramatic formations: Cave walls are adorned with glittering crystals, towering stalactites, and delicate stalagmites. The light filtering through the water casts an ethereal glow on these geological wonders.

💫 Unseen colors and light: Sunlight fades away as you venture deeper, replaced by the diver’s lights. This creates unique lighting effects, highlighting the textures and colors of the cave formations in an entirely new way.

💫 Discovery and exploration: Cave divers are often the first humans to lay eyes on certain cave passages. There’s a thrill in being a pioneer, uncovering the secrets that the earth has kept hidden for millennia.

So, it’s a combination of the untouched beauty, the dramatic formations, the unique light play, and the chance to explore hidden places that makes cave diving so visually captivating for those who dare to enter.
