DCMM and DESCO Corporation are teaming up up to present a mixed gas dive demonstration on the 100th anniversary of the first dives on the wreck of the SS Lakeland. Technical divers using new helium and oxygen technology were the first people to dive the wreck just six miles from the Sturgeon Bay ship canal. These dives where the first time mixed gas diving suits were put to a practical test on the Great Lakes. TIME of the event is TBD, follow this EVENT for any updates. The location will be the bulkhead/pier area right here on the waterfront at our Sturgeon Bay museum site. (Photo Credit: Wisconsin Historical Society)
