Chicago Aquanauts?

[gangrel441]

Just checking to see if there are any members of the Chicago Aquanauts Scuba Club in the house. I am a new associate member, and would like to know if anyone from the club posts here on SB.

Also, does anyone here have experience with this club and care to share any feedback? I discovered them through them through the ICSSD display at Our World Underwater, and through word of mouth, and they seem to be the only club local to my area of the burbs, but I would be quite interested in hearing about other divers' experiences with them.

Finally, if anyone else hasn't heard of this club but may be interested in joining, I would imagine the more the merrier, and it would be yet another chance to meet some SB posters. See website below.

Thanks!

There's a few folks from the Tritons and MidWest Divers floating around. Havn't seen any others drop if they were from the local clubs...

Thanks. Heard of them, but not quite from my area. CASA meets in Mt. Prospect, and caters to the NW burbs.

Don't the Tritons meet in Des Plaines? Or maybe I'm thinking about a different group.

Yup... meetings are at Giuseppe's, 1062 Lee St., in Des Plaines...

For what it's worth. We provide free forum space for private clubs. We can make them purely opt in or opt in with approval by a club officer. California has a few of them already and it makes it easy to find and to hang out. Any clubs that need a host for their site need only contact me.

Thanks Doc. I'm not an officer. Heck, I don't even play one on TV. But I will pass that along to the Aquanauts leadership. I think that would be a great thing.

While not a current member, I am an CASA Alumini. Club was fine, I was too busy and keptforgeting their meetings. They are a teaching club so it is a very good place to get started because there are a lot of new divers as well as experienced ones.
