 Milwaukee Shipwreck Diving!

The Len-Der and her sister ship the Reef Diver make diving the famous wrecks of Milwaukee very easy.  The most popular of these being the Prins Willem V (Prins Willie) a 250 foot Dutch Freighter with only 50 feet of water over the top or the wreck and 80 feet or so at the deepest. Other wrecks include the 906 Dredge, a crane barge that sunk upside down and held up at an angle with her boom, the Gillen Tug, the Norland Steamer, The Milwaukee, and quite a few more.  Depths can range from 30 - 140 feet.

The crew of the Len-Der are very good (and really nice folks) and have been running these charters for 20 years.  The Charters run most all weekends except for the winter with two charters a day.  You'll need to bring your own air tanks and can refill at Pirates Cove Diving which is also owned by Jerry Guyer, the owner of the the Len-Der and the Reef Diver.  Equipment Rental is available here at Seatasea and also Pirates Cove.  Plan on a 7mm wetsuit, hood and gloves or a dry suit.  We think dive computers are a must on all dives...but we really would recommend you having one for wreck diving due to the multi-levels of your dive.  A good dive light is a necessity in wreck diving.  We will also recommend the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty!

The boat dock is located just south of downtown Milwaukee and is an easy 5 hour drive from Cedar Rapids.  Lots of hotels are available along with plenty of other things to do if you are not diving. 

Seatasea chartered the Len-Der in August 2002 Read about our trip in the Dive Trip Review Section

Training Note: Lake Michigan is a deep lake, a "big" lake and a cold lake. Diving beyond your training and experience is dangerous.  Use caution and be a safe diver.  Always dive with a buddy. Learn the wreck before you dive. Know your equipment.  Plan your dive...dive your plan!
