Diving the Great Lakes in Summer ... and Winter Part III in our series of "Sports You Are Unlikely to Try, but may Nevertheless Find Interesting" (1 & 2) is this Traverse City Record-Eagle feature on father-daughter diving duo Christopher and Claire Morey. In summer and in frigid winter months, they plunge into West Grand Traverse Bay, free diving up to 30 feet down and photographing what they see with an underwater camera. "The Great Lakes have remarkable visibility now on par with the Mediterranean because of the zebra mussel phenomenon," said Christopher, referring to the invasive bivalve whose marked trait is filtering water. "As a kid I could see about 12 feet on a good day ñ now it's up to 35 to 40 feet."
