What is this?
Wilson Zebra Mussel and Documentation Project
This project is mainly for Monitoring the Zebra Mussel infestation in the lower Lake Superior Basin. We also measure movement on the Wilson since it is close to the Duluth Harbor and ice heaves have been known to move parts of the ship.
We also pick up the trash around the perimeter of the Wilson.
The diving level on this project is level 3, Advanced scuba diving certification. We will be diving at depths of 56 to 70 FFW. This will require a redundant air source such as a pony bottle either strapped to you tank or mounted like a stage bottle. If you don't have one, we will provide a tank for you. You will need to check your Buoyancy Compensator to see if it has D-Rings so that you can accommodate a stage bottle. We will also provide Surface Supplied O2 for your safety stop at 15 feet. There will be following the
NO
decompression schedules on the project!
