The Great Lakes and inland lakes of Michigan provide some of the world’s best scuba diving adventures. Because of the cold fresh water, historic shipwrecks of all types of construction are preserved in unbelievable condition.
It is very common for underwater visibility to exceed 40 feet in many areas of the lakes. During peak diving season visibility can be in excess of 100 feet. The clarity explains why Michigan's 10 underwater preserves, studded with hundreds of shipwrecks and beautiful natural formations, have become extremely popular with scuba divers from across the country and around the world.
