Well, I have to admit that the great state of Utah does have everything:)! Even a land locked stocked ocean dive spot in the middle of the desert....... http://utahoutdoors.com/pages/seabase.htm
Here are a couple of more pictures from some dives.....
Now if I could only get my lift bag attached someplace it'd make a heck of a souvineer.... The HP cylinder of the Triple Expansion Steam Engine inside the steam ship America. Isle Royale, Lake Superior I've been fortunate enough to dive the America, Cox, and Emporer on trips to Isle Royale. Check out this excellent site for more pics of wrecks at Isle Royale.... http://www.superiortrips.com/Isle_Royale_Shipwrecks.htm
Hey Fred, I think I'm through...Jump up and down just a few more times will ya......
Chris, Before you venture out into the open ocean, even from a dive boat, you need to be sure your legs are in VERY good shape! Do at least a couple dozen dives lake locked first to get into shape and to help keep your air consumption at a normal level. I used to be able to get about 2 hours from a 3000lb tank at 30 feet. Many times I had to get back on the boat to a group that had long run out of air and were stuck puking till everyone was back on board. On one dive, the divemaster came down and retreived us so he could get the boat moving and releive those that were seasick. There is nothing worse than being seasick, and or comming back up through puke in the water . Mark @ CLACO [ 11-05-2003, 08:46 PM: Message edited by: Mark Gulbrandsen ]

ETYMOLOGY: Middle English diven, from Old English dfan, to dip, and from dfan, to sink; see dheub- in Appendix I.
USAGE NOTE: Either dove or dived is acceptable as the past tense of dive. Usage preferences show regional distribution, although both forms are heard throughout the United States. According to the Dictionary of American Regional English, in the North, dove is more prevalent; in the South Midland, dived. Dived is actually the earlier form, and the emergence of dove may appear anomalous in light of the general tendencies of change in English verb forms. Old English had two classes of verbs: strong verbs, whose past tense was indicated by a change in their vowel (a process that survives in such present-day English verbs as drive/drove or fling/flung); and weak verbs, whose past was formed with a suffix related to –ed in Modern English (as in present-day English live/lived and move/moved). Since the Old English period, many verbs have changed from the strong pattern to the weak one; for example, the past tense of step, formerly stop, became stepped. Over the years, in fact, the weak pattern has become so prevalent that we use the term regular to refer to verbs that form their past tense by suffixation of –ed. However, there have occasionally been changes in the other direction: the past tense of wear, now wore, was once werede, and that of spit, now spat, was once spitede. The development of dove is an additional example of the small group of verbs that have swum against the historical tide. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.
