DIVING THE EDMUND FITZGERALD

In 1995, Terrence Tysall of Orlando and Mike Zee of Chicago, became the first people to touch the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald since it sank in the storm of November 10, 1975.

The dive was made possible by advances in gear, training and gas mixes required for survival at 530 feet in 34 degree water. Terrence speaks of the logistics of an undertaking such as this and of his profound impressions of the dive.
