Invitation for New or Inexperienced Divers in the Chicago Area

[ppo2_diver]

When I first became a certified diver, I instantly loved diving. However, I was extremely nervous about it because I didn't know anybody who was a diver. I didn't think that I would dive very much. So I can relate to how a new diver feels when finally getting certified. I was fortunate to find an experienced diver who invited me to go diving with him. That was quite a few years, and almost a thousand dives, ago. The rest is history.

I haven't forgotten how nervous and intimidating it is to get into the water for the first few times after getting certified. So I have set aside Sunday June 21 for a day of fun diving at Haigh Quarry. I would like to invite any new diver to come out and dive with me. This is not a class, just a day of fun diving with an experienced diver. This invitation isn't limited to only new divers. If you haven't been in the water much since getting certified, you are more than welcome to come and dive with us. If you don't have equipment, Haigh Quarry has all the equipment you'd need for rent. I'll bring a bunch of bottled water and some snacks to munch on.

If you're interested, let me know. Or you can just show up and ask the folks at the office where Duane is and they can point you to where I'm at. I hope to see you there.

Duane, I believe that that is Fathers Day this year, which will also be my 1 year anniversary of being certified

Unless I can convince my wife that my fathers day present should be a trip to somewhere warm to dive that day, IÃÍl be at Haigh for sure!!

Shouldn't a father be able to do what he wants on Father's Day? That has always perplexed me. It's my day. If I wanna go off and doing something I enjoy, why not? Too many wives turn it into the kind of day they think the father should have. Misses the point don't ya think?

 

[jepuskar]

I think the point of father's day is not to spend it near your wife.

Mine will have no issue if I dive all day ....

As long as it's locally!!

 

[CheddarChick]

What a great gesture...How nice of you to do this

Being that both of my sons and I are still pretty new to diving, this would be PERFECT. Fathers day with the boys and diving with an experienced diver. Can it get much better.

It also helps that I only live five miles away from Haigh.

Thanks for the invite Duane!
