My 13 year old son James and I have recently been certified here in Jackson, Michigan. Now we are planning our first dive trip with our LDS. It just so happens this trip is to Munising, Michigan with Peter Lindquist Diving. I am concerned that my son at 5'3" and a robust 103 lbs. out of the shower is going to have trouble staying warm. On our 4th check-out dive in a local lake he was quite chilled in 65-68 degree water. He was wearing a 2 piece farmer John with jacket 7 mill suit, he did not have on a hood though.
What kind of water temps can we expect for Lake Superior for the first week of August? Will my son need to dive dry? The LDS says we should be just fine diving wet. I know I will be okay as I will typically start sweating looking at my dive gear, but what is the concensus on junior?
