Hello all! My name is Jesse and I'm also a long time lurker of Scuba Board and thought I should finally make an account. I got my Open Water Scuba Instructor rating with PADI in October of 2023 and I'm slowly making my way towards the Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating. I'm happy to finally have an account here and network as much as I can.

Hi Jesse!

Closest I've come out there, was a long road-trip from Los Angeles to Brockville Ontario Canada/St Lawrence & Lake Ontario Diving, with all my gear some five years ago. Made a stop in Plainfield some two hours north of you, to shop Dive Right in Scuba (was a lot smaller facility than I expected!).

Best most interesting & unique middle-America dive I've done was Bonne Terre Mine MO, three-and-a-half hours to your south -highly recommend it if you haven't visited/dove there yet!

Welcome to Scubaboard!

Yeah, we don't have much diving around where we are located. I've been to Bonne Terre Mine but didn't get to dive due to an injury. I took my IDC with Patrick Hammer at the Dive Rite In shop in Orland Park. I'm actually taking an Ice Diving Instructor Class next weekend at the Plainfield shop.

Thread 'Great Lakes Diving Tour in a week'

Dec 26, 2022

Hello, I recently passed my one year anniversary of diving and I'm hooked. For the upcoming year I plan to focus on skills while also diving for fun. One of the Divemasters I was diving with is from Michigan and he suggested the Great Lakes. After doing some research I am intrigued and have decided to go for it. My goal is to take a week and dive all of the great lakes. From the research I've done so far, it seems like many of the dive shops are only open on the weekends and for Lake Ontario and Erie I will need to take the border into consideration when selecting a dive shop.
