Larry Olson

 

Hello – My name is Larry Olson, I started diving in April 07 at the urging of a fellow coworker, Pirate aka Karl. The class room and pool sessions were instructed by Seal, a diver that has been around; let's just say he and Jacque Cousteau were in the same intro to diving class. Seal is a meticulous teacher; he does it by the book and his experience. After the first pool session I was hooked. I was even telling myself I should have done this a year sooner. Then the hardest part was waiting for the lakes to warm up to get the shore and boat dives in. After the Open Water Sport Diver class I jumped into the advanced class. The deep dives in the mine pits were chilly and thrilling; we did 2 dives by Crosby - Ironton. During a dive this past summer I found a medallion in Pickerel Lake to win a snorkel, it is exciting to find one even though it was not the big prize. In December I was asked to take pictures of a truck recovery on Rush Lake and in February another truck recovery on Rainy Lake . Both of the recoveries were thrilling to be part of, watch the members of the Tri State Diving team go in and get the trucks out of the ice. Diving is just as fun as golf only wetter.

  Dates to be announced

  Lake Superior has a lot of wrecks that are accessible to divers.  We have had some excellent trips diving the wrecks on the North Shore.  Most of the wrecks are close to shore and are in the 30 to 50 foot range so it makes it easy to dive them and even easy for a beginner diver.  You don't have to worry about getting tangled up in the wrecks and you will have some of the best visibility next to ocean diving. 
We have video of the wrecks so you can stop in and see what you've been missing out on.
