Who sits around and thinks up this crap?So now they want to put the final spike in the coffin of Michigans tourist economy?Newbies usually start out diving structures like these.Its easy to dive and easy for instructors to control the students.I like diving stuff like this to find fishing tacle and anchors and stuff.So now I'm a terrorist for wanting to dive it? And they wonder why Michigan is dying? I got this from an email from a fellow diver(Name witheld)
