Yep, I really like Haigh. I did my OW & AOW checkouts there, it is worth the drive from Terre Haute( I was up there yesterday too, was anyone else from scubaboard up there?). But if the Brickyard quarry was a decent place, then it would cut my drive time by about 2 hours.

I live in Terre Haute, and found a website for Omni Scuba that has a quarry not too far from me called the Brickyard Quarry. Has anyone been there recently? Can you tell me about the conditions or site amenities? I sent an email to Omni Scuba, but never received a reply. I was up at the...

I'm planning on going to Bluesprings tomorrow does anyone have any recent update on conditions? Thanks.

I had some vacation days from work I wanted to burn off. I wanted to take a trip up to Haigh assuming I can find a buddy. Is anyone available for the 8th?

I'm a rather new diver and I live in the Midwest. So far, I don't mind the cold water whatsoever as I've done all of my diving to date in cold quarries and Lake Superior. I used to vacation in Ocean City as a kid and might take my own kids out there next summer. I was curious as to what...

You can add my name to the list A. Pomfret apomfret@ma.rr.com I live in Terre Haute.

How is bluesprings? I'll probably make it out there soon. What types of things are there to see? Vis?

Alright, this was my first dive after my check-outs last weekend. I went with one of the assistants in my class. Weather was absolutely perfect today and I was looking forward to diving anywhere. This small body of water is located in Linton, IN (39 3'17.91"N, 87 8' 36.20"W). I wore a 7mm...

I'll be in the Bayfield area and I am looking for someone to dive with. Being a mid-week date it is harder to find a buddy, but if anyone is available I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm looking for a dive buddy that knows a good place to take a new diver in the Bayfield, WI area (doesn't necessarily have to be in the big lake). I'll be up there on 6/26(Tuesday).

I won't make this post as long as what I posted in the Mid-west muckdivers forum, but the bottom line is I passed my certification this past weekend (at Haigh Quarry). Things I need to work on: 1. Buoyancy control....especially finding that rear dump valve on the BC if you start ascending when...

After a weekend up at Haigh Quarry, I am now a certified OW diver :D. I performed all the required skills (i.e. clear mask, out-of-air scenario, CESA from 20', compass nav., tired diver swim, etc.., etc...) The things that I was most critical of myself, were buoyancy skills, buddy awareness...

I am awaiting my check-out dives (May 12-13!) and I realize I am very inexperienced, but here is my experience for the no mask swim in the pool. I wear glasses/contacts. During my pool training, I did not want to lose my contacts(i actually lost one of my contacts in our first 200meter swim)...

I got a response regarding diving in Racoon Lake..... "Thank you for inquiring information on scuba diving here at Raccoon State Recreation Area. Yes, scuba diving is allowed under the following conditions: 1) Scuba diving will be permitted by written permit only (Acquire permit at...

I am looking at buying a 7mm wetsuit. I came across a 7mm from a company called Subogear (www.subogear.com) that had a 7mm at a nice price. Has anyone tried their wetsuits?

Anyone else watch tonight's episode? Awesome cave diving footage. Made me really appreciate the nerve of a cave diver.

an Indy dive shop had this about Fowler Park (scroll down).... http://www.dsiwdeep.com/index.cgi I know Jim at my LDS said that to dive Fowler Park, you pretty much just needed to go to the caretaker's house to let him know.

I'm up for Fowler Park with ya....seems like a nice and easy type of place for a soon-to-be newbie like me.

On that webpage, it states.... "Trade in a single product or any combination regulator, octopus, BC, and instrument described in the blue headings below, and receive an Instant Cash Allowance on brand-new Oceanic products. Upgrades are Factory Authorized and qualify for all Oceanic warranty...

Can someone give me more information regarding the cash allowance program for trading in older gear for new Oceanic gear? I have an older Oceanic first stage, Delta 2nd, a vest style BC, and a 3 gauge console. These items are still in good condition & in working order and were made circa 1992.
