Please try and do a night dive..most of the night dives that the boats take you on are only 25-35 ft. The ocean truly is a different place at night---so many amazing things you don't see during the day. Don't come all this way from cold Michigan and pass up on this type of opportunity, especially b/c you're here for 8 days.
One thing to keep in mind is that salt water is different than lake water. It will affect your weight-- you may need to play around with your weight on the first couple of dives to make sure you're not over/underweighted. I use 7-8 lbs and I'm 5'9 180.
Enjoy your trip and do some research in regards to wrecks/reefs, etc that you want to see.
