Take a charter to any of these sites. The advanced site is the Mesquite located in Keystone Bay. The U.S. coast guard cutter Mesquite ran aground in the fall of 1989 off the Keweenaw Peninsula. The ship was intentionally sunk in about 110 feet of water. The wreck is in excellent condition with virtually all of her equipment on deck. Interior exploration should be reserved for very experienced divers with proper equipment. Visibility at this site is 50 feet.
The next location is the Sawtooth Reef in Eagle River. This is a basic dive. This site holds the remains of four ships: The Pickards, a 233 foot wooden steamer, the Colorado, a 255 foot wooden steamer, the Fern a 65 foot tug, and the Tioga, a 286 foot iron freighter. The reef is in 35 foot of water.
The third location is the City of St. Joseph in Eagle Harbor. This is a basic dive. This 254 foot steel barge ran aground North of Eagle Harbor in 1942. The remains of the ship lies in 40 feet of water or less. Divers will find large sections of the hull, machinery, and other artifacts that make for excellent exploration and backdrops for underwater photography.
