Do you know of any clubs/groups/organisations (IL, WI, MI) that I could get in touch with? History, archeology, construction (former furniture maker) are all interests.
Quick and brief about me for context-Chicago native but longtime (dual citizen) in Australia. Currently living in Austin, TX. A family situation brings me back to Chicago approx every 6 weeks. Since I am there so often, I’m “basing” my diving and photo work in the Great Lakes region. I know living in Texas but concentrating on Lakes diving seems crazy, but consider the fact that it is a 4~5 hour drive (minimum) to the Gulf from Austin (6.5 hours to Texas Clipper wreck, 9 hours to Pensacola), that same driving time can put me (from Chicago) practically anywhere on the Great Lakes.
I have been diving the local wrecks while in town (with Double Action), and enjoyed them but I’m more about involvement with a dedicated, organised group. I prefer “diving with a purpose” (have participated in citizen-science and conservation projects) and diving with buddies/friends.
Divemaster (PADI), photographer. Have cold and poor vis experience. Not a Tec diver but thinking I may train up to twinsets in the near future. In short, I know how to behave and be a good buddy.
Hope this isn't too long, and I'd appreciate any info you can send my way.
