Benthic Scuba Center is your one-stop shop for a great expericence.

Fun, Boat and Dive Trips offered all year round

Summer time is the time to enjoy our local quarries and the historic shipwrecks that surround us in the Great Lakes. Winter time we travel to exotic destinations to explore the reefs and aquatic realm that only a few lucky people get to see.

“The best way to observe a fish is to become a fish.”

Ever came face to face with a beautiful shark?

Ever danced with a manta ray at night?

Come travel the world with us as we explore the
final frontier which is our oceans...
