Welcome to Down Time
Scuba and Charters

We are a PADI Dive Center located on Lake Huron at the tip of the Thumb in Port Austin, Michigan. About 2 hours north of Detroit, the Thumb Bottomland Preserve provides over 28 wrecks and sights for us to dive in our area.

Down Time's 26' Webbcraft enters the Port Austin Harbor area.
We offer scuba lessons at your convenience! You work with our instructor to pick the times, dates and length of course that works for you. Chuck, our instructor, is certified to teach from novices (open water) through Divemaster. If you are already PADI certified and want to go to the next step, give us a call!
Our dive charters let you pick the time, day and locations you wish to dive. A typical two-tank charter lets you explore two different sites and costs $75 a person.

We can provide a guide for an additional fee if you are new to cold water diving or in need of a dive buddy!
