1. Big Rock Pl. Take County C out of Brussels to County CC to Lime Kiln Rd. Claflin Rd. goes right. Go right to Big Rock Pl. to the bay. The rocky entrance is protected from the south. You can get 35' without trying too hard. Good area for boat anchors. Give fishermen their space. Visibility: 3-25'.
2. Little Sturgeon Increase Claflin Monument at the end of Claflin Rd. Take CC of C coming from Brussels. CC ends a Claflin Road. Take a right. Go to the end. Obey parking signs. Plenty of room to park here without blocking any driveways. There is a wreck approximately 175' long. Beam of 25'. The wreck is approximately 100 yars south of entry point at Memorial Rock. It starts close to shore, out to approximately 15' depth. Remains of old dock are in the area also. This is an interesting dive site, even if you don’t find the wreck. Another option is to go north from the same entry point. Remains of the piers and some interesting rock structure. This is a good place to find boat anchors and fishing tackle. Again, give fishermen wide berth.
3. Vacant lot off Sherwood Point Rd. Take C out of Brussels, approximately 12 miles, to County M. Go left about 5 miles to Sherwood Road, which will veer off to the left. Vacant lot is about 1/2 mile. There is a rocky entry here, but its not too difficult. There is a rocky slope to about 30-35'. This area is protected from the east and south.
4. Cabot Point This spot is an old favorite. Take County M past Sherwood Point Rd. all the way to “T” in road. This is Cabot Point Road. Go left all the way to the end of the road at the water. There is parking along this road. There are private cottages farther down the road. This is another rocky entry. There are some nice rock structures beginning at about 10' depth. The botom then drops fairly quickly to about 30-35'. Go either east or west along this point. There are a lot of rock bass in the shallows. This area is protected from south wind.
5. Potawatomi State Park Take County PD (Park Drive). Watch for signs off Hwy 57. It is about 4-5 miles south of Sturgeon Bay. Go north on PD past County C. The park entrance is just past the airport. A daily pass must be purchased at park office. There are numerous areas to dive in the park. One favorite is by the shelter building near the camping area. Travel south along the shore and dive from any of the picnic areas. Depths 10-28'.
6. Bull Head Point Take Duluth Street left off 42-57. Duluth St. is at the intersection of S and 42-57 by Lambert’s Lumber. This will take you down to Bull Head Point, which is a popular fishing spot directly across from Cihlar’s Concrete Products. Here you will drive out on a small peninsula where on the south side you will find the “Stone Boats”, the Ida Corning, Oakleaf, and “Empire State”, all of which were once proud schooners plying the waters of the Great Lakes. In later years they were stripped to barges and hauled limestone. the wrecks are shallow and even breaking the surface at times. The maximum depth is about 15' and gets weedy early in the summer. After exploring the wrecks, explore around the rest of Bull Head Point.
7. Wreck Adriatic Cross Michigan Street Bridge in Sturgeon Bay. Go left on 1st St. This wreck lies in front of Bay Ship. Access can be from the vacant lot just south of Bay Ship at the foot of Jefferson St. This is Bay Ship property so it is more advisable to make this a boat dive and avoid trespassing. The wreck is between the pilings just north of Cyclone Fence that ends at the water’ edge. Shallow Dive, max 25'.
