Straits of Mackinac, Michigan

2012 Trip: August 11, 12

The Straits of Mackinac may have the best collection of shipwrecks shallower than 130 feet in the Great Lakes. Now, you can join the Huron Scuba Dive Team as we return to this recreational shipwreck diving destination.

Experience the thrill of swimming through the break in the Cedarville (right), a massive ore carrier that split in two after a collision in 1965.  Enjoy the spectacular bowsprit and intact railings of the Sandusky, lost in 1856.  Marvel at the structure of the Eber Ward and the splendor of the Stalker. The history and amazing preservation of our shipwreck history is why diving in the Great Lakes is so fascinating.

Explore the shipwrecks of the Mackinac Straits!
What a great way to expand your experience and get you "in shape" for more Great Lakes diving! We will be diving up to 130 feet deep in cold water; cold-water equipment with redundancy (pony bottle, doubles, or H-valve) are required for all divers to safely enjoy these shipwrecks. Deep Diver, or Advanced Open Water diver certification with significant cold-water deep experience strongly recommended.

There are plenty of opportunities to take the Advanced Open Water Diver training at Huron Scuba prior to this trip.  Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, and Dry Suit certification dives may also be available on this trip - sign up in advance!

2012 Dive Package:
For 2012 we will be doing something new, five dives for everyone!  This package includes 3 dives on Saturday and 2 dives on Sunday.  All dives will be made from the St. Ignace side of the Straits.  Wrecks we are hoping to hit (weather permitting) are the Eber Ward, and the Cedarville from both ends.  Other wrecks TBD.  Space is limited so book now if your are interested in what Brian thinks is some of the best shipwreck diving available in the Great Lakes today.  

Pricing for 2012 is only $319. Lodging is not included but can be priced separately; inquire about your many options and let us help you have a wonderful vacation.  With Mackinac Island only a ferry ride away, bring the family for a wonderful weekend even if they aren't divers!

A $150 non-refundable deposit will hold your space and the balance must be paid by July 1st, at which point all monies become nonrefundable. You may rent Huron Scuba's gear for the weekend, including tanks, BC, regulator set, weight belt & weights, and wetsuit or drysuit system.
