The water of Lake Superior is very cold but also very clear which makes scuba diving in those waters very appealing to adventurers. Many shipwrecks are wonderfully preserved in the fresh water of the Great Lakes and these are some of the favorite dive sites.

The North Shore's craggy coast, shallow rock reefs and underwater rock formations are attractive to divers. Scuba diving Lake Superior began to gain popularity as a Minnesota adventure sport in the 1950's and still consists almost exclusively of shipwreck diving.

The 1970’s were great years of scuba diving Lake Superior shipwrecks. Some of the discoveries included:

• The car ferry, Milwaukee, that disappeared on October 22, 1929, and was found in 1972 by John Steele and Kent Bellrichard in 125 feet of water north of the port of Milwaukee.
• Deep water shipwrecks at Isle Royale and Whitefish Point in Lake Superior were found and explored.
