Dive Travel -North Carolina Wreck Diving – Alaska – Shipwrecks of UPPER GREAT LAKES – La Jolla Cove San Diego with Master Gary Knapp

USA NORTH CAROLINA – Wreck Diving: On this Dive Travel Adventure, join us as we stay in the USA and travel to Morehead City, North Carolina to dive some of the ship wrecks that are part of the graveyard of the Atlantic . We interview Captain George Purifoy and friend, Claud Hull, about the U352 German Sub which they discovered (sunk May 9, 1942) as we give you a video tour of the sub 100 feet below the ocean surface. ALASKA: As the great glaciers of the last ice age retreated from Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, a new and beautiful land was born. We take our dry suits to the most northern route yet in our series, heading to Vancouver British Columbia, Canada, and take a ten day cruise and dive along the inside passage to Sitka, Alaska. Shipwrecks of Michigan’s UPPER GREAT LAKES: We are in our home state of Michigan for this edition of Dive Travel. Many have asked us to dive and explore a few of the thousands of shipwrecks in the northern part of our Great Lakes. On this show we visit eight wrecks, two in Lake Michigan: the Eber Ward, sunk in 1909; and the Sandusky, sunk in 1856 during the civil war. We visit two in Lake Huron: the Cedarville, the third largest shipwreck in the Great Lakes, sunk in 1965; and the William Barnnam. In Lake Superior, just off Munising, we visit four: the Steven M. Selvick, a 71 city class tugboat; the Herman H. Hettler, a 200 three-masted steam barge; the Smith Moore, a 226 woodenhulled steamer; and the Bermuda, a 145 schooner. La Jolla Cove – San Diego: On this dive adventure, we travel to sunny San Diego to dive the famous Kelp Forest in La Jolla Cove. The Kelp Forest stretches along the southern coast of California. La Jolla Cove is one of the few places in the San Diego area that features clear underwater visits year round. It s the perfect place for snorkeling and viewing ocean life. Visibility is about 30 feet. The cove is protected from fishing and kelp harvesting and is maintained as a marine sanctuary. In unprotected areas, the kelp is harvested to make vitamins. We also dive with giant Black Sea Bass, only native to that region in this cove. These giant Sea Bass range in size from 60 to 300 lbs, with the largest growing up to 500 lbs. While there, we offer a mini-tribute both to a fish and to a man.
