Are there dives in Lake Huron that you think have it "all" for divers- one for beginners, and one for next season that is for intermediate level divers? I'm thinking of recommendations for shipwrecks that have a well-documented and interesting story that I can read up on, and that is also visually interesting/beautiful. If the wreck is near Tobermory all the better because that's less than 7 hours drive for me. Or Alpena, MI or Saginaw Bay maybe? Crazy old shipwrecks are very interesting to me as I studied history in school!!

I'm only 22 days from my open water course in Cancun with Alvaro Gonzales at Alwaysdiving.com. I'm reading Jill Heinerth's book "Into the Planet" right now and will follow that with "Diver Down" by Michael Ange. I'll probably finish both of those this weekend so is there a great beginner wreck-diving book that I should read or general beginner scuba book- or something that will teach me a bit about cold water diving? I do understand that to actually learn cold water I need to dive cold water, just wondering if there is a primer out there that might introduce me to some of the concepts and/or challenges of cold water diving. My plan is to do some quarry diving in Gilboa with an instructor once I get back from Mexico- Gilboa is only an hour away from me!!
Do you mean that in 22 days you will take your OW class in Cancun, or that you took your OW class in Cancun 22 days ago? I guess with regards to Great Lakes diving it doesn’t matter that much, because diving to 70ft plus in cold water is a completely different experience. Do you know how to dive with a dry suit? If not, you’ll want to learn! I wouldn’t even think about doing a deep dive in really cold water in a wetsuit.
