Let me introduce myself

[erich]

Good afternoon, my name is Eric and my wife Christy and I reside in Chicago.
We both got certified this summer and just love it. I finished my PADI OW that I started in college years ago and Christy is SSI. We got her mom and dad involved and also did our IANTD Nitrox class.
Illinois has a few good quarries that we frequent, Haigh quarry and Pearl Lake. One neat place downstate is Mermet Springs. They have the 727 from US Marshalls sunk there for penetration and practice.
Over labor day we went to Key Largo and had a blast in the "open water." In February we are going to Maui and indulge in the economical pleasures of shore diving. (Any recommendations for Maui would be appreciated.)
As you can tell I am really excited about my new hobby and I look forward to enticing some great info and advice from all of you!
Thanks for the listen and Happy Holidays.
