Great Lakes Diving in November?

[DiverChix]

I am wondering if anyone out there is an experienced divemaster and or instructor that would be willing to take me out for a dive in November? I tried to email a few LDS, but it looks like the diving pretty much stops in October. I am an experienced California diver, and I am going to be in the Great Lakes area in November to see my son graduate from boot camp (Navy). I am flying out a few days early, hoping to avoid any travel delays and possibly doing a dive on Tuesday, November 20th. Anyone out there that can give me some advice or lead me to someone who would be a great divemaster, willing to take me out for a dive? I am used to diving cold water and I would have my own gear, including drysuit. I would only need a tank and weights.

Thanks for the help,

Tessa

Where will you be? Our boat is out of the water but there's a couple of good wreck dives accessible from shore around Port Huron/Sarnia at the mouth of the Clinton River at the Southern end of Lake Huron...

Great Lakes is north of Chicago. Second Len-der, see also Ship wreck adventures out of Two Rivers WI.

Are you interested in inland lake dives as well?
I'm still diving. How does Devil's Lake at Baraboo, WI sound?

I am getting confused on the places people are posting back to me. My son is stationed in Great Lakes, Illinois. Here are the directions they give on their website:

Naval Station (NAVSTA) Great Lakes and Recruit Training Command (RTC) are located approximately 35 miles north of Chicago, in the far northeastern corner of Illinois. The Wisconsin state line is approximately 16 miles north of NAVSTA/RTC.

So, I am staying approx. 4 miles from the RTC. If I could get in a dive on Tuesday, November 20th, that would be great - I will need to figure out how far the dive sites are from this location.

Thanks for your help everyone -
