Diving

New Dive Map Brochure is now available!

Grand Traverse Bay is an excellent place to experience Great Lakes diving and snorkeling. The unique geography, sheltered bays, surrounding amenities, excellent shipwrecks and underwater features make it a dependable and exciting dive destination, especially with the GTBUP teaming up with charter fishermen from the GTASFA to provide dive and fishing charters combined! 

Everybody sign up for the Treasure Hunt!

Treasure Hunt took place on June 29th (Sunday) at 11a.m. Swimmers & Snorkelers were welcome too! Proceeds went to the newly formed Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve! 

UPDATE
