Where is the best place to dive shipwrecks...The Great Lakes or
The AtlanticCoastline? Join two well known shipwreck divers, Joyce
Hayward, "Lady of the Lakes" and Gary Gentile, famous East Coast
Wreck Diver, as they endeavor to prove to the audience which region sports
the best shipwreck diving! Whether this turns out to be an all out duel,
or a friendly duet, the audience will be the winners as they view incredible
shipwreck sites in both locations. Shipwreck
sites, and multi site locations, appeal to divers for a variety of reasons
which will be featured in this program:
* Popular shallow shipwrecks have paticular appeal to novice shipwreck divers. These sites are easy to access, frequented by local charter services, and offer excellent visability. A great place to get started in diving shipwrecks!
* Artifacts: Artifacts are the subject of intense interest on shipwreck sites. What kinds of artifacts can be seen in these very different settings, and what do they mean for the diver?
* Ship construction and parts of the ships, such as the helm, which provide interest and photo opportunities will be featured in each location.
* Dive travel - It's not only the diving, but the other things available to see and do, that make a long dive trip worth the effort. View special regions that becon the diver!
* Deeper, technical dives for the advanced diver...sites below the 130 ft. depth, requiring decompression, and advances in gear and training. The presentation will feature selected sites in the deeper range, and why it is worth the extra effort to see the spectacular sites.
This presentation is a first of its kind. You won't want
to miss the fireworks as these two regional experts duel away with the
best of the best shipwrecks in their region. Wheater this turns out to
be an all out duel, or a friendley duet, the audience will be the winners
as they view incredible sites in both locations.
