The Christmas Tree wreck is the Rouse Simmons which lies in 200 feet of water off of Two Rivers. I haven't been to her yet, but I'm sort of working my way there. The deepest I've been is the Walter B Allen off of Sheboygan. She lies in 167 feet of water and I have photographed her deck which is at 150. I understand the Christmas Tree wreck is pretty interesting, so thats on my short list. Probably won't happen until next season though.
Lake Michigan and the great lakes in general have some of, if not the best diving in the world. We have visability that rivals anywhere and 150 - 200 year old wrecks that look like the day they went down. Kind of scuba divings best kept secret.
