Hey, everyone. I'm heading to Chicago to visit for a week. This is my first time to Chicago since getting certified. I've done some google searches but I rather rely on the community than a couple of web pages. Can someone tell me the basics so I can check out some of the Lake Michigan wrecks? For example, dive charters in or near Chicago? Average cost of a two tank dive? How long does it take to get to the sites? I'll probably need my 7mm, right?
Chicago, but dive in FL. Not true anymore, as I did my first Lake Michigan dive.

When will you be here, and where in the Chicago area?
You'll need the 7mm suit.
There are several dive boats in the area. For example, N'Pursuit in East Chicago, IN charges from $85 to $105 for a 2-tank trip depending on where he travels. Does not include tanks or weights. You bring your own. This is the only boat I have used here.
