List of "local" dive sites?

[FreediveWI]

Over by the appomatax is the wreck of the Josaphine as well- often a god one to hit on th swim back in as she's only in 10' of water right off the steel pier- caught a nude sunbather by accident on the opposite side of that peir once.  ;D

There's what's left of the Sebastopol, just north of the Volunteer on the south side.

I used to dive South Shore yacht club in the winter time when I lived in Milwaukee. Mc Kinley marina was alos another nice dive. If you can get out ona calm day a really nice dive is to hike out to the end of the Government pier and do a giant stride off the end. this way you can swim back to shore looking for lots of lost junk and just climb out by your car when your done. we uses to throw are fins up and climb up the orange ladders, but you can exit through the little cove as well.

Take a look at the Lakesat.org website for clear lakes in the area. Moose lake has some sort of access and used to be one of the most dived lakes aorund- before Hasslingers sold out to teh condo developers. Beaver lake isone of my favorites- but need to freedive it or use a dive kayak to get any depth. She's a protected lake that sees very little boat traffic.

Pine lake is clear, deep, and you need a boat to dive it but is worht the effort.

Pleasant lake is a bit south west of you and is also a nice lake to dive- or spearfish in! 8)

Red Granite, and all the lakes aorund it, are always good for a day of diving.

Last time I was in Lannon, or Racine, quarry they were terrible- which is too bad because they used to be nice. :'(

This time of year Monona and Mendota are nice. I took a look at Devil's Lake last weekend, when I was skiing at Devil's Head, and she's still 3/4 forzen over. There is another lake, which is deeper over there as well- called fish lake.

There are more shore dives along lake michigan you can do- and a bunch of wrecks you can hit if you have a dive kayak- the Toledo and the Reliable come to mind

Take a look through the threrads in this section for more ideas.
