Scott,

    Lot's of diving opportunities in Milwaukee...that is, if you like 
lake Michigan Wreck Diving or local quarry ice diving.  As of this moment 
the lake is pretty much ice free, and wind is out of the west which means 
good viz, although who knows what it'll be in April.  There are local 
charter boats that go out on a pretty regular basis.  My suggestion would 
be to call one of the local dive shops and inquire about charters.  More 
times than not there are people in the area that would love to show you 
some local diving. Besides lake michigan, there are some quarries 
and lakes which come to mind which offer the visiting diver some 
interesting opportunities.......that is, if you get into ice 
diving (hopefully by april there won't be any ice!).   We still have about 6-8 
inches on Racine's quarry.  This past sunday, viz was around 20 feet 
under the ice.  I think your best option for our area around the second 
week of april would be lake Michigan, the ice will probably be pretty 
thin if not gone by then,  and I think you'd be pretty  impressed with 
what lake michigan has to offer.  If you can't find  anyone, drop me a 
private  e-mail. I can give you additional local info. Otherwise I'd love 
to show you some of our sites. I'm out most every weekend...weather 
depending.       Safe diving!
