Great Lakes Divers

Based in Alpena, Michigan, Great Lakes Divers is a PADI Dive Center built for divers who want to keep growing, whatever stage they're at. From your very first breaths underwater to leading others, the shop guides you through the full path with a genuinely personal touch.

Courses for Every Level

The class list runs the full ladder: Open Water, Advanced, Rescue and Dive Master, plus nine specialties to round out your skills. Both group and private classes are available, so you can learn at a pace that suits you. Divers looking to push further can also get recommendations for tech instructors and classes.

Great Lakes Divers is equally happy to work alongside visiting instructors, helping them deliver great Open Water experiences for their own students. It's a welcoming home base for beginners taking their first course, certified divers chasing new ratings, and instructors who value a supportive local partner.
