As many of our TTD’s many begin and end between  5:30-7:30 PM. Dive locations vary but members  tend to want to go where  the grubbing action is the best.  Therefore we are often diving in Niles, Michigan, in(or under) the Saint Joseph River as it flows along “Riverfront Park”.

Many chose to enter the water at the “semi-submerged pipe” or the dock by the kayak launch point down which is behind the movie theater.  All divers are required to bring their own “diver location flag” or make sure they are sharing a flag with a close buddy.

In addition to a location flag we encourage divers to bring a bug/goody bag for their finds and a river stick to help them maneuver in current. Visibility is often limited in the river so with new  or less experienced divers we usually have a mentor dive with them.

Here’s a sample of TODAY’S finds by a couple of retired guys who started much earlier in the day.
