In this adventure you will take a group of scuba divers on a wreckdiving charter around Isle Royale National Park followed by a dusk to dark Lighthouse Tour before returning to Grand Marais Minnesota.

This adventure has two required flights. The first flight will take your divers from Grand Marais over to Isle Royale with stops at all of the popular wreck sites there. The second flight will be a Dusk to Dark Lighthouse Tour before returning to Grand Marais to complete this adventure.

Turn off Econ mode in SPAACARs before flying to avoid auto-send of pirep.

• Scenario:
  You are running a dive-charter flight from Grand Marais Minnesota to Isle Royale National Park. Pick your divers up at Grand Marais Airport (KCKC) and fly them to Isle Royale. The dive charter itinerary is as follows:
  
  

On the way to the main island you will come upon Rock of Ages Reef. This group of small islands hides a shallow reef that claimed three ships over the years. The Rock of Ages Lighthouse was built here to mark the hazard and is the first lighthouse you will show your guests.



Land near the reef and taxi to the island where the lighthouse is. You can allow your guests to climb around the outside of the lighthouse, but the lighthouse is locked and uninhabited since it was automated years ago.




As you taxi westward with the reef on your right, just past the reef where the lighthouse sits you will come to the two wrecks on the south side of the reef, the Cox and the Cumberland. Stop at these buoys and allow your divers to make a dive.






Now move around the tip of the reef to the north side to dive the Chisholm wreck. All of the wrecks have buoys to mark their approximate location.

It's time to take off again to fly to the main island. Ahead of you as you fly you will see the open water between the islands. Your destination is the two little islands to the left of the entrance to Washington Harbor, Johns Island and Thompson Island. The wreck of America is located just inside of the North Gap (the passage between Thompson Island and the main island).


The wreck of the America comes to within 4 feet of the surface and can be spotted from the surface. Land along Johns and Thompson Islands and taxi through the North Gap to the buoy marking the wreck of the America. Look down at the surface and you will see the wreck with two scuba divers exploring near the surface.

It's now time to take off again for the short 2.8 mile hop to Windigo Ranger Station at the far end of Washington Harbor. Your divers can grab a bite of lunch while the scuba tanks are refilled and loaded back onto the plane.

Unlike diveboats that must go back out of Washington Harbor and around the southeast end of the island, you will take off from Washington Harbor and fly across the island to Menagerie Island. You'll know you're there when you see the Isle Royale Lighthouse on the east end of the island. Land along the island and find the buoy just off the east end of the island. That buoy marks the wreck of the Glenlyon, your diver's first afternoon dive. After the dive, while your divers off-gas the nitrogen from the dive, you can stop at Menagerie Island and let them take pictures of Isle Royale Lighthouse.

Now it's time to take off again, this time for the Rock Harbor Lighthouse marking the Middle Island Passage. Land along the island and taxi to the beach by the lighthouse so your divers can get some pictures.


Now take off again for a low-level 1.8 mile hop along the island chain to the wreck of the Algoma, your divers next dive destination.



Take off again and fly your divers to Rock Harbor Lodge, also visible in the above map. It's at the far right of the map picture, the northeast end of the harbor nestled in a little hook in the island that offers protection from the wind and waves. Here your divers can get a bite to eat while the scuba tanks are topped of and the plane refueled.

Take off again and fly your divers to the wreck of the Monarch, just northwest of Blake Point, the eastern tip of the main island. The map below shows the location of the wreck of the Monarch and also the Passage Island Lighthouse - your next stop after diving on the Monarch.

After diving the Monarch, take off again and land at the Passage Island Lighthouse for your guests to take more pictures and stretch their legs.

Take off again, this time for Canoe Rocks and the wrecks of the Emperor and the Congdon. The wreck of the Emperor is near the eastern end of the rocks and the Congdon is a bit west of there on the shoal that now bears her name.

Take off again and continue westward along the north side of the island until you get to the wreck of the Kamloops, just northest of the point that now bears her name. This is an advanced deep dive requiring special mixed gas breathing equipment.

This ends the day of diving and your divers are ready to return to Windigo to camp for the night and hike around the island the next day. You can file your pirep for the first flight of this adventure now. When you start the next flight you can load the isleroyaledusk.flt file included in the download file. This will start you off at WIND at dusk, but perhaps not in the plane you wish. Unfortunately, at the time of this posting, MSFS doesn't allow changing of time from a saved flight. Also, you can not change the start of a flight without losing the flight plan with all the destinations marked. Alternatively you can load the original flight plan at KCKC, slew over to WIND, set the dusk time setting, and then start SPAACARS. This will preserve the flight plan and you can then complete the next flight.

• [Flight# APMSFS12] (WIND-KCKC) Windigo to Grand Marais with four Lighthouse flyovers
  
  Note: If using the included save dusk flight, be sure to set your fuel before takeoff your tank will be low and will need topping off to make the flight home.
• Aircraft: Amphibious
• Weather: Your choice
• Time: Dusk
• Scenario:
  It is now evening and your guests are ready to leave. Before leaving the island for Grand Marais, you will give them a dusk-to-dark tour of the light houses and a flyover of Rock Harbor Lodge. You are free to land at any or all of these five destinations if you wish, but at least give your guests a chance for pictures of the sites before returning to Grand Marais.
  
  You should be familiar with the layout of the island and lighthouses by this point and can refer to any of the maps shown above if necessary. The included flight plan should allow you to fly the route and enjoy the sites.
  
  When you finish the tour of lighthouses, continue on to Grand Marais (KCKC) to end this flight and file your pirep. This ends the first MSFS Adventure.
