KOMPRESSOR:
My curiosity, what are watertemps like in Great Lakes? -Wetsuits?!...

It really depends. Last week out of 6 divers 5 had drysuits and one was in 7mm. It got down to 45-48 depending on who's temp you looked at. But that was still at 70 feet or lower. The deepest anyone went was about 200. SO the themal hits 2-4 times. But the surface was nie nough for a 20 minute swim to get out of the heat during our surface inter.

The basic question is what do you consider cold? Even with drysuits some of our divers only wear sweats while others full undergarments. And the poor wear 7mm wetsuits:)
 
I use a 22' Biddison and it gets the job done nicely with a GPS, Marine radio, fish finder, FM Radio with CD and a 200hp yamaha. I always fly a dive flag hi over the t-top and the I have a floting flag that I tie off the back of the boat with a 25' rope. If I did this right you will see my boat and if not ooooowell.
