Presque Isle, Michigan
$4,500.00 p/person
Dive the best shipwrecks in the world. Lake Huron has some of the most preserved shipwrecks from different eras including wooden schooners from the 1800’s to steel freighters. Each ship has a unique story and history. Most of them sank due to fog and collision, ice, & violent storms others disappeared without a trace for over a century until divers discovered them. In this area we’ll dive 7 -8 spectacular wrecks. They are preserved and intact in the cold freshwater. Diving them is like visiting an underwater museum and swimming along a piece of history. Artifacts can be seen on every ship and many of the sailing ships still have masts that are standing upright reaching up into 90ft/30m into the water column. You’ll be impressed with the clarity of the water (usually 100ft/30m) and the picturesque wrecks. This is a must for any wreck diver and photographer.I am focusing on running more intimate groups so there are only 5 spaces available. I’m happy to help set you up for success before the trip and answer questions, on the trip I’ll do detailed briefings of each shipwreck using my 9 years of experience diving this incredible area. This trip is for technical divers that are normoxic CCR Trimix trained. All of the dives will be 160-200ft / 48-60 meters and proper certification is required.
Dive Facts:
- Water Temperatures – 39f/4C at depth and typically thermoclines around 60ft/20m and 20ft/6m. Surface temps can be around 60f/15C.
- Visibility is typically 100ft / 30m
- There is ambient light at depth but a dive light is still needed
- Most of the wrecks are 7-12 miles from the marina taking only 30-40min at most to get to.

Additional costs
- Travel

Transportation
- Airport – Detroit Michigan (DTW) – 4 hours away
- Closest airport but usually more expensive Alpena Michigan (Delta flights only) – 30 minutes away
- I suggest flying in a day early and staying somewhere in Detroit then transiting up to Presque Isle
We will be on 6 pack boats so we will limit the number of divers on the wreck at a time. Bottom temperatures will be around 39F / 4C and a thermocline will give us a 60F/17C for decompression. Just to give you an idea most of our dives have been 25-35 minute bottom times with 30-60min of decompression. I highly suggest doing some cold water work up dives beforehand and making sure you come with a dry drysuit and drygloves. Let me know if you need recommendations about heated vests or heated undergarments. Dress right and enjoy the dives even more!
(Proper certification (CCR normoxic trimix) is required for these dives and will be checked). If you dive Open Circuit I can rent double 100’s but you MUST dive the appropriate mix for the depths we are diving. No exceptions and no diving air. This is a Trimix trip. Your safety is important to me and the safety of the wrecks so we can enjoy them together in the future.
