Call and/or leave message...currently voice messages (and sometimes calls) CANNOT be received when Boat is in the Waters of the Thumb and Northern Harbors. We are hoping the phone company will fix this. Voice Mail Cancellations are not valid...you must speak with the Captain to arrange rescheduling.  Ditto for email as the same situation exists. Weather is not always kindly to divers and has been known to frown on the best of dive plans...Your Captain is a trained USCG licensed professional and an experienced diver.  His decisions on weather conditions, dive sites and any matters pertaining to the vessel, crew, divers or diving are final. Conditions may preclude specific dives. By diving with us All Divers expressly assume all responsibility for their own dives.  We aim to provide you with the best diving experience offered on the Lakes. Come...Dive...Enjoy. All said, its supposed to be fun! Our Crew Nikki and Travis, Danie is somewhere about. Bless us Lord with calm seas, blue water if you please, a clear sky, a bright star to steer by...and a boatload of friendly divers, cash in hand. Amen.       FISHING is available mid April, May, June, September, October...If you can talk the Captain into dragging some lures. DNR Law now requires fishermen to supply their own bait from LOCAL waters.  This is not a charter, unless you want to, it is by donation for gas, coffee, a sub sandwich and stand me to dinner and brew.  Brews.. CHARTER DATES: If I am already in a Port I am easy to convince to Charter for Diving, sometimes for a reduced rate or just to go fishing.
