Dan Gildea’s Video Archive – SLD US Side

The Dan Gildea Video Archive, part of the Shotline Diving US Side Collection, is a valuable subset within the broader Shotline Diving archive. This segment focuses particularly on wrecks located in US waters, spanning the Great Lakes from Lake Erie and Lake Michigan to Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Dan Gildea, a respected underwater videographer and experienced diver, played a critical role in capturing high-quality footage of historically significant shipwrecks, some of which have rarely been documented visually. Gildea’s work provides not only a visual reference for recreational divers but also serves as a baseline for researchers studying wreck deterioration over time. His archive is recognized for its technical quality, historical accuracy, and consistent focus on site conditions, making it a must-visit resource for both historians and dive enthusiasts.
