Brand new to diving. I read a lot of posts about wreck diving in Lake Michigan,,,but are there any places in the Midwest that are good for observing multiple species of fish?
Obviously I'm not expecting to see the dynamic array you would in the Atlantic or Pacific.
Thoughts?

Jane;
Not knowing where you live, almost anywhere will give you multiple species to observe.
Two common dive sites my wife and I go to are Haigh Quarry and Pearl lake.
Both have multiple species.
Haigh; Paddle fish; white catfish; channel catfish; bluegills; crappie; northern pike; and other panfish.
Pearl lake: catfish; bluegills; and probably more.
check out their websites;

You can see fish virtually anywhere in Lake Michigan. Commonly seen are gobies, pearch, alewives, bass, carp and, of course, burbot. You will also find non-invertebrates such as crawfish, snails, various mussels and even freshwater sponges. If you look closely, you will also find a myriad of copepods and other very small animals that inhabit the bottom.
