Nice video. How deep is the boat in?

Would have been nice to be diving - instead we were freezing our buts off at soccer games today.

Looks like I missed out on some good diving today.  :'(  You guys, I wanted to go in the worst way.  Priorities kept me from joining you: Dive Team meeting today. 

Sorry I couldn't make this one.  Hope to make the next one.

                      So thats what it looks like! Dave and I were out finding anchors instead. This sternwheeler is almost suredly the Excelsior that sailed the lakes in the very early 1900s some interesting photos on the MN Historical Website under Excelsior sternwheeler. That and some cool pics of the wrecks at the McDonalds in Excelsior when they were decked out and still on the surface.        TRINITY

With all the anchors that get found, perhaps we should add an anchor challenge to the wreck challenge that Detector started.  ;D

Excellent video! The viz looks great. What type of light did you have? Is that the "Big Blue LED"? Its nice to have the light mounted to the camera camera (or the camera mounted to the light). Its easy on the eyes when the light is not going one way and the camera view going the other. Who all was on the dive with you?

Re: lake minnetonka sternwheeler
yeah, it's the big blue led



...as Terry said, Dave and Him were getting anchors on that dive, so i was checking out the wreck before the vis went bad.
