Don't miss out on visiting Petoskey's underwater crucifix

The Detroit Free Press wants you to know that you aren't a true Michigander unless you know all the sites to see in your area. Even those, apparently, that aren't able to be seen without diving gear or gills.

The Freep recently highlighted Petoskey's underwater crucifix, noting its history and the best ways to view it.

Excerpt: Underwater? Yes. The 1,850-pound cross made of white Italian marble is 24 feet down, about 600 yards off Sunset Park in Petoskey, according to Dennis Jessick, a diver who has researched the crucifix. It's 11 feet long and 2.5 feet thick with a 5-foot-5 figure, all attached to a metal pedestal at the bottom of Little Traverse Bay.
