There are over 28 wrecks located in the preserve. Ranging in depths from 10' to over 200', there is something for divers of all skill levels to explore.
Lake Huron wrecks are well preserved, due to the cold water temperatures at extreme depths.
The Port Sanilac Preserve is very close to our location and arrangements can be made to dive some of the wrecks there, like the Regina!
