New guy in Winnipeg. Got OPW certification in warm water this year. Looking for diving buddies in MB so that I don't jump in a freezing lake by myself. My cat is reluctant to follow. So is my wife.

West Hawk Lake is a nice dive. They have an area flagged off for divers just north of the beach area. There are a series of mini walls and it is a Canadian Shield bottom, so little silt. The viz was great when I was there 20+ feet... It is also a favorite with some dive shops for ow cert dives, so you may meet up with other divers. Have fun.

West hawk is where I dive.
There is also a dive site in clear lake that I would like to try.
Make sure you have at least a 7mm suit for Manitoba. Hood too.

Check out your local dive shop - All of the local Winnipeg shops have groups headed out to West Hawk regularly and there is even a few clubs around they can put you in contact with. Look at the events pages of their websites - some update - some not so much. Most are out on weekends they don't have training going on.
Second Kenny's advice - if you stay above 20 feet you can get away without the gloves and hood, below that - not for very long.
