Grand Traverse Bay is an excellent place to experience Great Lakes diving. 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! 

Close by Grand Traverse Bay on North Bayshore Drive. Scuba North offers a complete line of scuba gear for the discriminating diver. Find out more at Scuba North.

Located just South of Traverse City on US 31 S - this (PADI) dive shop offers all the conveniences for cold/tech diving. If you want to book a trip to a warmer climate, they offer many trips around the year.

A dive flag serves an important purpose and needs to be respected.

Are you looking to divide your time and enjoy some of the best fishing in Michigan? Look no further than the available charter fishing boats from the GTASFA! The GTBUP and charter fishing boats are teaming up to provide the scuba diver with better access to shipwrecks in the region.  We'll bring a full listing of all charter boats that can run dive charters AND swap to fishing charters. Make it a full day of fun on the water and do both!
