Welcome illinoisdiver! You don't have to be part of our club to dive with us. However, if you are looking for dive buddies, what better way to meet some than to be part of a dive club (ok, sales pitch is almost over). Also, we have planned dives 2-3 times per month. Cost is usually reasonable because we go as a group.
You are more than welcome to join us June 16. If you need gear, call Tina down there to make sure she has what you need ready when you get there. Being a weekday, it is usually a small group that meets monthly at Haigh (even smaller when the water is colder). 3 of the regulars are at least Rescue certified and 2 are AOW so you have plenty of experience around you.
Where exactly do you live? If you are interested, we have a club meeting tomorrow June 9, 7:30 pm at Mr Beef and Pizza 1796 Elmhurst Rd in Mt. Prospect. Also, depending where you are at and who is going, can also maybe car pool with someone.
Post here when you decide for sure if you are going on the 16th. This way we will wait to get wet until everyone arrives.
By the way, these dives are super easy. We like to keep it simple and take our time. We usually hit the water for the first dive by noon (yes, we do move slow). Break for lunch. Do a 2nd dive after lunch and head home before rush hour.
If you want to talk more, PM me your phone number and I'll give you a call. Hope to see you there.
Pete
