The Great Lakes have more shipwrecks than any other location in the world!  Our front door is Lake Michigan with wrecks, right off the Loop in only 30 feet of water.  Because the lakes are fresh water there is very little decay of our wrecks and you can see history with your own eyes.

Once a month on a Saturday or Sunday in summer, we take divers to some of the best local shipwrecks on the lake. You need a advanced certification, or you can use these dives for part of the class requirement.
