Petoskey, Michigan - Skin Divers Church A hole is chopped in the ice each year for one day at the beginning of March to allow Skin Diver Church pilgrims a view the submerged sanctuary. A white-marble crucifix was set up 65 feet down in Little Traverse Bay Aug. 12, 1962, by a local divers club, to honor diver Charles Raymond, who drowned in Torch Lake.
In 1985 the Michigan Skin Diving Council moved the crucifix to a more public 22 feet of water. The memorial now remembers all who lost their lives beneath the waves, in bodies of water everywhere. [Cheryl, 03/17/2008]
