Event Details

Join us aboard the Southwinds with Osprey Charters and Captain John P. The Southwinds is one of the premier dive boats on Lake Erie, providing divers with a safe and stable platform to reach many of the popular wrecks enjoyed by divers today. Nitrox or helitrox is recommended for all dives.

Intended Dive Sites: Dean Richmond and the Indiana (Stone Wreck)

All divers will be required to have dive equipment appropriate for cold water diving. Even in mid-summer bottom temperatures can be expected in the mid 40s. This means 7 mil wetsuits or dry suits with hood and gloves. Dive computers and regulators designed for cold water diving are required.

All dives aboard the Osprey Charter are advanced dives due to water temperature and depth. Divers must possess an Advanced Diver or higher certification. Divers lacking the proper certification must hire a dive guide for the day or be enrolled in a continuing education program and diving with an instructor.  Contact the store prior to registration if you need a guide or have questions concerning our policy.

Refund Policy:  There are no refunds for missed dives. Refunds will be given if a charter is cancelled by Discover Diving or Osprey Charter

 Directions to Osprey Charters: Take the I-90 to Exit 60. Pass through the toll gates and make a right hand turn at the end of the ramp. Take N. Portage Road approximately .1 mile to the end of the road. Turn right into the marina.
