I may not live within an easy drive of the caves, but I really love both cave diving and Great Lakes wreck diving ----- all without the salt!

Yeah, but...how do you run line in Great Lakes wrecks? :-)

It needs to be tied to an external object not associated with protected wrecks, then run through without actually touching anything. They make neutrally (fresh water) buoyant, flexible line that holds its shape for just that purpose. :roll:

The only saltwater we find is the sweat on the inside of the DS :) That does happen on the surface on those (rare) hot days out on the lakes! It goes away when you drop in!
