Thermal protection is essential, as water temperatures vary significantly throughout the year, with cold thermoclines often present below 10 metres.

Drysuits are strongly recommended to handle the cold water environment.

Cold thermoclines can drop the temperature sharply below 10 metres even in summer, so a drysuit or a well-fitting wetsuit of at least 7mm is strongly recommended. Arrange your surface marker buoy deployment with your charter skipper before the dive, as boat traffic on Great Lakes waters makes a visible ascent essential.
