I'll help you in any way I can. I know Daddy-H20 and I are used to diving in the cold water. Don't worry though, if you can handle the cold you are in for some of the best diving in the world with all of the wrecks that are really preserved in the Great Lakes. Unlike the wrecks in salt water that get destroyed quickly.

Look into if there is a quarry or lake nearby that you can dive in. There are a bunch of state parks in PA that allow diving. Check out this link:
