We used dive the Ft. Sheridan shore occasionally. There is quite a bit of old military junk to be found where the old piers were. I heard that divers were being prevented from entering the water from shore now but I don't know much about that. The authorities are a bit paranoid about the possible presence old ordnance and this has some validity. Unexploded shells have been found in the water here. There were plans to let a contract to clean up the area but I don't know how far that went. It sounds like they may not have liked the cost and opted for a warning sign instead.
