While the dive season is over, our visitor center is open year round. NE Michigan is gorgeous in the winter.

We look forward to seeing you on the water soon! There are fantastic charter operators in the area, and many of our wrecks are marked with great buoys if using your own boat.

David Krzisnik Dr. Ballard is a class act all the way. I tracked him down via email a few years back regarding my concern over the possible plundering of a Great Lakes Shipwreck. He actually responded! Keep up the good work Dr. Ballard and Thunder Bay Sanctuary
