Washington island has a nice wreck off of School House beach- I think it's called the Louisiana. She starts in 2' of water and goes down to 25'. In the late summer the water in the bay gets up int the mid 70's.
There are two ways to do the Milwaukee area. First I could organize a boat, but we need to make sure we have at least 6 freedivers.
The second, easier, way would be to hit the south shore of the city, off of Bayview, and hit a couple of shipwrecks, like the Volunteer and the Sebastopol, then go out to the wall and spear some carp. This would be shallow enough for all and would just require a short walk down a hill and a bit longer swim out to the wall- one of the wrecks is on both sides of the wall. This would also require dive flags for everyone but the depths are nice for everyone to enjoy.
The second way could accomodate any number of divers, and their families, and has a nce swimming beach in the August for kids. The water here can get as high as 74 degrees later on in the summer.
As with anything on Lake Michigan, it is realy weather dependent. If the wind is right it is great ad if the wind is wrong it's better for surfing- yes, there is an active surfing group on Lake Michigan.
