Chicago area divers... any local trips planned?

[jepuskar]

I need to go diving and soon...anyone have anything planned to go to Ohio or Mermet when they re-open?

I would prefer to go with local people as opposed to meeting people out there...nothing like drive 4+ hours to find out someone had to cancel or whatever...

I was thinking of heading to Gilboa or Wazee sometime. Wazee is closer, but it'll probably ice over sooner, although a little ice might not be a bad thing.

Do you have another drysuit besides that 30/30?

Dale and I are looking to go down to Bonne Terre for a weekend trip some time this winter.
The more divers we get the better the trip.

Yes, I'm cold water ready. I haven't dove in cold water since April or May of last year so I need to ease back into it..but Gilboa sounds good..I've never been.

I think they are only open 10am - 4pm on the weekends now, if possible I would like to get out there when they open on Sat and leave after the last dive on Sunday. I dont want to drive out there for just a couple dives.

I'll probably be heading up to Wazee or Red Granite for some ice diving soon. If this unusually warm weather lightens up, there may be enough ice at Haigh in February. I hear Whitestar Quarry is also open now. I don't know if there is ice on it.

The Len-der is also running winter charters on Lake Michigan, weather permitting.

Hi Everyone,
I am out for the next 3 months due to a broken hand, I should be able to make the first charters this spring, but no ice diving or no heavy liftwing, or work, ect.

You should stay out of trouble! Every year it's something new! First staples in your head and now pins in your hand!

Sorry to hear about the hand!

I'n scheduled for a charter this weekend, but in the event that I get blown off, I might make the trip to Gilboa.
