The Midwest's diving season has begun, and there are plenty of things for a diver to do! Are you looking for something to do this weekend? How about wreck diving in the Great Lakes region? There is so much to see. With the right equipment and a little extra training, cold water diving can be just as much fun as warm water diving. Here are a few interesting wrecks to explore.

If you would like to find something other than wreck diving, check out these other great Chicagoland dive sites.

Now that you know where you want to go, perhaps you need to pick up some gear, get your air tanks filled, take a class or maybe just aquire more info about the dive site. For Scuba Shops in the Chicagoland area, check out my Chicago Area Dive Shop Directory.
