Minnesota

Minnesota is one of the best dive sites in the United States. It has over 50 dive sites waiting to be explored with wreck diving far up in Duluth, right down to Lake Calhoun in the Twin Cities area. If you like wall diving, then you will love diving into the iron pit mines. It might not offer the same as warm water reef diving but that’s the whole point. The bottom is rocky, with walls and shelves creating steps. These conditions will enhance your skills- great for multi-level, deep, or tech diving.

There are also several sunken attractions for divers to enjoy whilst diving in Minnesota. Training platforms, airplanes, boats, helicopters, buses, and cars are on show with an abundance of marine life inhabiting the lake such as sunfish, bass, crappie, walleye, and lake trout. Due to the cold water, lakes across Minnesota require a 7mm wetsuit in the summer with some divers opting for a dry suit.
