One of our very favorite Michigan dive’s is the St. Clair River.  This drift dive is considered one of the hidden gems of drift diving right here in Michigan!

With currents typically between 4 and 5 knots on the Michigan side of the river, it will take your breath away.  This dive is considered an intermediate level dive.  We find ourselves in the river frequently so don’t hesitate to drop us a line about your Drift Diving Certification!

Had a fantastic class experience, not sure we would have made it thru without the patience of our instructor.  Spot on instruction with the help of professional instructors!

Had a great time in class.  Was very worried about some of the underwater skills, my instructors made everything very easy.  Thanks for the great demos and keeping nerves in check.  Can't wait to start my Advanced Open Water Classes!
