Tomorrow I will take my deep dive and wreck dive to finish up my AOW. Does anyone have any tips for the deep dive that are different than dives at 60'? I will be diving in a lake and the visibility is about 3'.

Three feet of visibility at 100 feet for the first time...
I would keep a death grip on the anchor line at the bottom and then demonstrate to my instructor that I am not narced by pulling out my dive knife if he tries to coax me away from the upline.
Actually compared to something unpleasant like navigation your deep and wreck dives will be easy. Go down, look around, notice there is no red, orange or yellow stuff, admire stuff crushed by the pressure, note that narcosis can be pleasant and addictive like allergy medicine and then head back up. A simple rule if you stay near the line and are on an AL 80 is to be sure to head back up when your pressure in psi is your depth in feet plus a zero. (75'-750psi, 100 feet-1000 psi, etc). If you are away from the line use 2/3 for your turn point.
What kind of wreck is in the lake?
