Scuba Charters to Shipwrecks

The Dive Diva is Captain Kathy's 31" Tiara. Captain Kathy has been aboard The Shoreline for the last 9 years. For more information visit her web site at www.divedivacharters.com.

Two other dive boats will also be available so we can handle groups as large as 18 divers, 6 divers per boat.

All dive charters will be available from The Shoreline Resort Marina. Contact The Shoreline Resort Office for details.

We dive shipwrecks both here in the waters and Islands of Door County and around Islands in Michigan's Upper Peninsula such as Poverty, Summer, and Saint Martin Islands. The depth of these wrecks vary from 20' to 110'. We have 3 wrecks in 25' of water or less and several in the 25' to 65' range. The O'Conner is upright in 65' with it's huge steam engine rising to within 40' of the surface. We have 2 intact wrecks, one a schooner at 105' and a steel barge and crane at 110'. There are also several shore dives available in Door County and we would be happy to direct you to these locations.
