Mike and Georgann Wachter are the authors of Erie Wrecks and Lights, Erie Wrecks East, and Erie Wrecks West, and have published a Lake Erie shipwreck chart with over 360 GPS shipwreck coordinates. They have been diving around the world since the mid 1970’s but particularly enjoy the pristine and perfectly preserved shipwrecks that lie in the fresh waters of the Great Lakes. This has resulted in the discovery of over 60 wreck sites. Each year they create a least one new program for presentations to educate divers and historians.
Early hard hat divers called their diving suits “dive armor.” This program tells the story of early hard hat diving, its many hazards, how it became essential to underwater construction, and the influence it had on Great Lakes and Caribbean treasure and salvage work.
