Wishing You a Meaningful Easter and a Beautiful Start to Dive Season 🐣🌊
As spring unfolds and the waters begin to warm, I’m filled with gratitude for the return of light, life, and new beginnings — above and below the surface.

Easter reminds us of renewal and hope, and there’s something fitting about getting ready to slip beneath the waves once again. The shipwrecks are waiting. The silence, the stories, the serenity — it’s all just around the corner.

Wishing you peace, health, and joyful dives ahead.

Let’s make this season one to remember.

Yours truly Shipwreck Explorers LLC team, scuba diving charter boat Molly V.

Shipwreck Explores crew wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Shipwreck Prins Willem V this last Sunday out of Milwaukee WI. We had really warm water all the way to the top of the wreck at 60ft. There was a surface current too and it brought it all these small gobies ... they were everywhere right at the thermocline. I've never seen so many of them. The temp dropped down to 44F on the bottom, but it helped the viz to be good.

We have 2 openings double dip this Friday morning! Please sign up here if interested: https://www.shipwreckexplorers.com/dive.../2024-08-30am/

We dove the freighter Carld D. Bradley today. Here is a sneak preview photo. What an epic dive! She sits between 290ft to 380ft. The top of the pilot house is at 290ft while the bottom is at 360ft and getting down to 380ft at midship. She sank in northern Lake Michigan on Nov. 18th, 1958 in a storm. 33 of the 35 crew members perished with the ship.
