Ron Bloomfield
The video is in two parts. The longer version is designed for PBS stations, which are anticipated to pick the show up this year. A shorter version, which was screened for Rotary, is 12 minutes long and is intended to be shown in dive shops and venues like Rotary where the public would benefit from an overview.
The video talks about the responsibility of divers to respect the underwater wrecks that abound in the Great Lakes. Today there are laws in place to protect these relics. In the past divers were free to take souvenirs or otherwise damage or change the wrecks.
After screening the video, Ron answered a number of questions from the audience. Although wrecks are accessible to a limited group of visitors with the equipment, training and ability to dive, the wrecks are of interest to everyone. They represent a mystery and wonder of the lakes.
The video is available at the Historical Museum next to City Hall. A diver's guide booklet is also available.
