Hi Alec,

Yes, and the museum is associated with a historical preservation scuba 
organization whom is interested in supporting dive operations.  The 
museum is in a really unique location, smack dab in the middle of a 
channel connecting Lake Michigan and Lake Muskegon.  If you look at 
either google earth or google maps you'll notice that just south of the 
museum is a public docking area.  My contact at the museum said that 
there is a boat ramp there which should suit us fine.  I explained that 
we need a good four feet of water and he said it should work but he will 
confirm it.  If not, there is a boat lift close by.

My understanding is that the museum has two 30 foot boats which are more 
than capable of towing submarines.  There is a wreck right next to the 
breakwater (see google maps) in 15 feet of water, and there is another 
wreck not much further in about 50 feet of water.  However, dive ops 
could also occur right next to the public marina in Lake Muskegon.  I 
asked about renting some small pontoon boats for "bubble watchers" and 
he said those are available as well.
