Welcome to the GTBUP Website!
What's in the Bay anyway

The GTBUP will be at several events this summer. Please go to the Calendar section for more info. Stop by our booth and say hi!

Our revised dive brochure showing many of the dive sites in Grand Traverse Bay is available online in the DIVING section of our website.

Please join our Facebook page. Connect with local divers and find up to the minute information about the preserve.

Our meetings are usually held the third Tuesday of the month at the MSU extension office on Front St. Come join us!

Thanks to Scuba North!
Scuba North graciously donated half the proceeds from their annual golf ball treasure hunt on June 28, 2009 to the GTBUP. The Traverse City YMCA received the other half. Prizes such as an Aqua Lung Glacia regulator and a Blackbeard's Bahamas dive trip were among the many great prizes. Thanks to Jack Spencer and his staff for a truly wonderful day!
Guest Speaking Requests

Members of the GTBUP will honor requests for guest speaking engagements with a PowerPoint presentation detailing the sites in the bay and the work done by the GTBUP. The presentation includes beautiful color images and video clips. Email your requests to: info@gtbup.org

Would you like to Help?

If you are interested in helping us and not sure how, please e-mail us and let us know what your hobbies are and what you would like to do for the underwater preserve.

We're looking for writers (with a flair for history) as well as someone who can update brochures, posters and such. We're also looking for an events coordinator to help put together events and special functions.

You don't have to be a scuba diver, just someone who has an interest in the underwater preserve and its vast historical resource.  Please e-mail us!
