Pearl Lake, IL - jham2081 - 06-08-2006
I will be moving to Southern Wi in the next couple months, and i was wondering if Pearl Lake is a popular dive spot, or if it is just a "ehh, ok" but not often dove spot. I gather that it is somewhat more expensive than the other dive spots. What are your opinions?

The owner doesn't allow freediving so I no longer dive it- he can't wrap his head around the idea of "snorkeling" with a weightbelt and no BC. >
Not a bad place during the week, but gets crazy busy on the weekends.

$20 a day and $8 fills = sorta expensive.
I'll do it once a season.

Reality:
  Pearl Lake Should Not be Pleasure Dived during the weekends as there are way to many Dive Training students classes out there!
As a Dive Place it's worth $20.00 for New Divers:
Small, easy access, Max Depth about 80+ feet.
Lots of things to see & discover:
Sunken Boats, Planes, Trucks, Subs & Other Cool Stuff!
Good place for Compass Work!
Viz is not bad when Not Stirred Up By Students!
Nice Beach for Non-Divers, Resteraunt/Bar.
  Just one divers opinion!

I have found Thursdays are the best to go to Pearl. Bring some kind of gloves though as the sights are getting a little rusty. Vis was around 25' a week or so back H2O temp was mid 60s at the surface but low 50s at around 15'. Hope this helps.
