Dive into the Great Lakes of North America

The five lakes Huron, Superior, Michigan, Erie and Ontario at the northern border of the USA and southern border of Canada, make up the largest group of freshwater lakes on the world - and they also offer some superior diving. So what can you experience down there? Although the visibility is not too good and there is not much marine life or corals, prepare yourself to explore well-preserved sunken watercraft from decades ago. From wooden schooners to modern steel freighters, this is the perfect dive destination for wreck lovers. Discover your next shipwreck adventure!

Explore underwater life

Aquatic life under our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams is amazing! From microscopic zooplankton to the largest animal on earth, the blue whale, underwater life comes in all possible shapes and sizes. With 71% of the earth being covered with water, it is no wonder we are so fascinated with what lies beneath the surface. In fact, scientists estimate that there are nearly 1 million different species of aquatic animals. Freshwater ecosystems are home mainly to fish, invertebrates, and reptiles, whereas the ocean contains a wide array of marine life including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, reptiles, sharks, and marine mammals like whales, dolphins, seals, and manatees.
