I recently got a custom fit drysuit, and I'm really itching to try it out! I'm looking for a good locations to get a few easy dives in it before graduating to traveling to Vancouver Island and the PNW. I have probably 75-100 dives in a whites drysuit, I recently got a custom fit Bare drysuit. I've heard they dive differently so I want to be sure I'm comfortable in it.
The only place I have drysuit dove in the midwest has been in a quarry about 3 hours from my house (Lake Wazee if you're familiar) We go there because my in-laws have a place not to far away that we can spend the night at. Plus, they have lots of platforms and buoys that can be helpful when trying out new gear.
I live in the Twin Cities, and I'm wondering if I'm totally missing out on some good spots up in Duluth. I've done some googleing and found the Maderia which looks like it should be easy access.
My first question is, would Lake Superior be a good place for a check-out dive for new equipment? Or should I be patient and drive out to the quarry once the buoys are in?
Second question... What else am I missing? Any great spots on the north shore near Duluth that are not to be missed?
Thanks in advance for any advice, and sorry for the long-winded multi part question.
