New diver in Illinois

[Sam308]

Hello all,

I took my classes and confined water dives in November and my certification dives in May at Pearl Lake. I am OW certified.

I took a cruise in middle of June with my family (to bad my wife is afraid of diving) to the western carribean and dove in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I just love diving and had a great time. I would rate Grand Cayman and Cozumel as places I would like to dive again.

I don't understand why several of my certified friends are happy to dive once a year on vacation to tropical waters. It has been a little over a month since my last dive and I am already thinking about another dive.

Let me know if anyone need a dive buddy in northern Illinois.

Check out the Great Lakes Wrecking Crew forum. You can hook up with plenty of divers in your area.

Hi and Welcome Joe. Couple of us will be diving in Mermet Springs, IL outside Metropolis this weekend. What part of IL are you in?

You are going to be so glad you found this board. I have been diving for 16 years, yet have learned so much in the short time I have been on SB.

I'm not all that far away in Indy. Let me know if you need a buddy some time. You pretty much have to travel a little to dive around here.
