TRAVEL

We travel extensively over the Great Lakes and Caribbean. Locations in the Great Lakes have included Tobermory, Isle Royale, Munising, Whitefish Bay, Mackinac, Traverse City, Muskegon, and Alpena. Frequent Saturday afternoon/evening charters are planned in the historically rich Port Sanilac area. This allows busy divers the opportunity to shipwreck dive and still have time for their other responsibilities. The Seahorses are not restricted to northern waters. Our travels have included the Bahamas, Bonaire, North Carolina, Cozumel, Turks & Caicos, and the West Indies.

EDUCATION

The club is rich in educational activities. The Seahorses are the originator and annual sponsor of The Great Lakes Shipwreck Film Festival, 2008 marks its 28thAnniversary. We are now an SDI training facility and we offer basic open water certification for beginning divers and advanced courses for divers wishing to increase their expertise.  Our monthly meetings are often followed by lectures and films on topics as diverse as safety and travel.
