Look at their schedule pages to see what is going on for the time frame you are looking at. Most of the operators here run their schedules by reservations made by the local dive shops. When you find a date/time that suits you call the shop that has that reservation and rent your gear from them. I don't know if it's possible to have the shop haul rental gear down the lake for you but it's worth asking so you don't need to make a trip out to the burbs where most shops reside. Also the southern end of the lake is where the shallower wrecks lie and viz can be hit or miss.
Check out windycitydiving.net, Jim runs a great boat right out of downtown Chicago.

That would be my recomendation as well if you are in downtown Chicago Captain Jim runs a great operation! If you are somewhere north of the city there are some alternatives along with Jim's new boat coming on line very soon if not already in service. There are also some good ones up toward Milwaukee and Green Bay where the deeper clearer water is to be found.
I operate a boat out of Waukegan and I can rent most of the equipment you might need. The exception is exposure protection. You can, however, rent wet and dry suits from local shops.
