> Join us and Black Dog Diving for Isle Royal July 9-12, 2010 for JUST $825

Call with questions or to sign up today! Only 3 spots left!

Our typical 4 day charter consists of the dives as follows: 

Day 1, Cumberland or Cox - depth 30 - 100'.  Stop at Windigo ranger station to register with the Park Service.  There is also a small store with souvenirs and showers.  Next stop is the America, depth 4 - 78'.  We will then travel toward the north end of the island.  We will probably stop at Todd Harbor and anchor for the evening. 

In the morning we will travel to Canoe Rocks and our first dive will be on the Emperor stern, depth 100 - 150' most of dive at 115 - 120'.  We will do a second dive here also as it takes multiple dive to see the stern of this wreck, (probably the premier dive of this trip).  We will move to the bow of the Emperor and do a dive on this end, depth 30 - 100'.  After this we will move to the Monarch for a dive, (depth 10 -65') after we will either anchor in a bay for the night or possibly get on a dock for the night (steak night). 

Day 3 we will dive the Emperor stern, then the Congdon bow, then travel to the south end to the America for a afternoon dive and do a night dive on her.  We will try to get on the dock in Windigo for the night. 

Day 4 we will dive the Chisholm engine.  Weather permitting, (depth 120 - 150') after which we will travel back to Grand Portage.  Our water temps will be in the high 30's to mid 40's.  Vis is better with the colder temps, seldom less than 20'.  A 5 day trip is one more day on the north end.  Definitely the best bang for the buck.  A four day trip has the possibility of 11 dives and a 5 day 15 or 16.  We have added some pictures to the web site and one of them is a map of the island with the wrecks marked.  We eat well and dive some of the finest wrecks in the USA.  This will be a trip you'll remember long after you're back home.


> Roatan 2007

A trip anywhere else in March would have not been the same.  A bold statement you might say, but I believe it in my heart.  Our trip back to Cocoview resort in March was wonderful.  Being greeted as family when you walk back into the door at the resort sets the stage for the entire week.  You know it’s time to put on your flip flops get your gear ready and dive til you can’t dive anymore. 

This year’s trip was filled with fun people from Bemidji as well as a family from Houston Texas.  We had both divers and non-divers that enjoyed everything the resort had to offer as well as going to visit a hydroponics plantation on the island for a tour.  Enjoy our pictures and look for Roatan 2009! We’d love to have you with us.
