I just got back from that area today. ;D

Timber Bay is an awesome diveshop- it cetainly beats anything in the Madison area and would give many shops in the Milwaukee ara a run for their money. Nice classrooms and a great fill station for your tech diving needs.

I went by Crystal, but didn't dive it because there is nothing in there.

I did dive Little Star quite a bit, because it was next to our rented cottage, and had pretty decent vis in there. I also dove Trout Lake which is huge and goes down to 120'. Vis is better there in the spring, but I still had a good 15'. The lake is so big and cold that it even has burbot in it.

Another interesting lake I dove was Sparkeling lake. It is a research lake for the UW and has lots of tagged fish and lab experiments sunk all over the place.

Another good lake up there that I dove about 20 years ago, while teaching some scuba courses to boy scouts, is Museklunge. It has decent vis, and you can reach depths of 65'.

Check out the local diveshop in Minacqua. They have local dive guides for sale and theey were most helpful.
