I'll jump on at the last minute if there is still space.

Don't let any of the GUE folks hear you boasting about that cave card...they might sneak up on you, turn off your gas, knock my mask off, and start a real charlie foxtrot!sillygrendel once bubbled...

Oh, and I am with nitroxbabe on the quarries thing...I have 3 within driving distance of my house and I ain't driving halfway across the country to see another.

Laugh... I guess I can't boast about what I don't have yet!! IF we pass... (and I'm sure they'll do all that to us down there anyway!) It would be a lot of fun to practice in some of those wrecks! Even if we don't it'd be a lot of fun to see those wrecks!

I dove with these guys last summer: http://www.shipwreckadventures.com/index.html
They go out of Winthrop Harbor (just south of the Wisconsin border). The skipper I dove with, Greg Such, is a wreck diving guru and a nice guy to boot.

OP
You guys are right....no quarries.
I wouldn't come half way across the country to dive in some quarry. Lake Michigan is the featured attraction here.
If anybody wants to research into wrecks you wanna dive go right ahead. Now is the time to get your word in. I definetly think we should do a dive leaving from Burnham Harbor because its great scenery of the Chicago coastline.
How is this for a tentative schedule:
Friday Night: Dinner downtown...followed by whatever.
Saturday: Lake Michigan diving off of Chicago.
Rest of Saturday: We could do dinner downtown again, barb-b-que/pool party at my house (my dad makes the best ribs you will ever have), or whatever else sounds good.
Sunday: Lake Michigan diving near Milwaukee, WI or another area up that way.

Jason,
Your schedule sounds good to me. If we all agree, I can contact the outfit I mentioned in my post (Shipwreck Adventures) and see about a charter on that Sunday. They can go out of either Winthrop Harbor or Milwaukee. They have two boats, one takes 4, the other 6.

I might be able to swing this, now that I think about it, if things work out. I'd only be able to dive the Sat, though. If I do make it out that way, I'll need to be back in Grand Rapids on Sunday. But it might actually be fun meeting more of you characters...

I've been dying to go back to this place, very much fun, especially for a group....
It's Moraccan cuisine, very good stuff. They have a circular party room complete with low tables and floor cushions which can be booked for a larger group...We'd have to inquire about capacity but we squeezed over 20 people in there before...
Sound good to anybody?

Chicago Dive Charters runs right out of Burnham. Enterprise Marine has access to some better wrecks they run out of Waukegan (sp?).
