For the last 4 years I've used Capt. Jitka (Shipwreck Explorers) for technical charters in Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Jitka provides excellent rebreather support and her boat is well equipped for technical diving. The Molly V has a fantastic wide rung ladder, carolina rig with equipment lines/deco station and surface supplied oxygen hung at 20' with LP inflators to plug in off-board gas in an emergency.I am looking forward to another 2 weeks of diving in the Great Lakes this season with Jitka and deco (the dog/first mate)!

Capt Jitka is an experienced technical/cave diver, which brings a wealth of knowledge to the boat deck. She strives to know as much about her divers so as to be able to cater to their experience, whether novice or technical. She has helped me develop my craft of technical diving.

Jitka and Deco run one of the best charters I’ve had the fortune to be on. Her focus is on Great Lakes Shipwreck dive charters and fully supports technical, CCR and recreational dives across lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior. On her expedition trips to some of the more remote locations Jitka is able to support gas needs including air, Nitrox, Trimix and O2 fills. I’ve been on many of her charters and plan to be on many more.

Top of the line outfit. Jitka is a great Captain, diver and photographer. I also like the way she sets the morring lines. Very clean comfortable boat. Diving is her buisness.
