Thunder Bay Scuba

We train and supply divers’ needs!

Intact wooden Schooners from the mid 1800's, Wooden Steam Freighters, early steel freighters. Depths from less than 20' to 200' or more. Almost all the wrecks below 130' are untouched by salvors and protected by law since the 80's.

Thunder Bay Scuba is centrally located along Lake Huron's "Shipwreck Alley" just off of the City of Alpena in Lake Huron. With more than 70 shipwrecks along the 65 miles of shore from Harrisville, through Alpena, and up to Rogers City, Thunder Bay has one of the largest concentrations of shipwrecks in the world! Within a 6-mile radius, world-class shipwrecks like the Windiate, Florida, Kyle Spangler, Defiance, Norman, Typo, and Audubon are there to be explored. Browse this site’s "Wreck Sites" page and click on the cameras when you see them, and see for yourself what's here. Come dive into history. Come dive Thunder Bay!

Thunder Bay Scuba trains and supplies divers’ needs from Tawas City to Presque Isle. The Shop sells diving and snorkeling gear from Sherwood, DiveRite, Scuba Max, and is a Poseidon service center. Open, generally, 7 days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and 5 days a week the rest of the year. We offer Air and partial-pressure nitrox fills, and if you want tri-mix, we will put the cylinders of helium in our shed so you can blend your own. Working with charter operators, we can book your dives and arrange accommodations for your group today. We do our best to show every group a good time, so when the weather blows your charter off the Lake, ask us, and we will arrange for alternate dives to keep you wet. If you’re coming to Alpena, you will need to stop by THUNDER BAY SCUBA for the best advice on diving or snorkeling our wrecks while you’re getting your air fills. Thunder Bay Scuba is here to help.
