Chicago Scuba Meetup (CSM), a dive club in Chicago, is having its monthly meeting on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 7pm at Lalo's Restaurant (basement) in Lincoln Park. Deanna LaSusa-Hotchner will be giving a presentation on humpback whales. I'm really interested in seeing this after wandering through the life size whale model at Our World Underwater.

We are happy to have Deanna LaSusa-Hotchner as our guest speaker this month. Those of you that attended Our World Underwater couldn't help notice the 60ft. inflatable whale that members of CSM helped build. This was the brain child of Deanna, who ran the children's program at OWU.
Her topic will be "Humpback Whales - Wild and Wonderful!"
Humpback whales are amazing animals. In this seminar learn weird whale ways, where to see humpbacks in action, the major threats they face and what you can do to help them! Hear the story of Harry the Humpback's 'birth' and how he was created by CSM members.
Deanna became a diver twenty years ago. Since that time, her love for the ocean and diving has taken her all over the globe. Deanna has dived many places in the United States, Caribbean and South Pacific. Her favorite hobby is underwater videography. She is the recipient of the First Place award, Environmental Concern in the EPIC (Environmentally Aware Photographic Competition).
The combination of Deannas zeal for marine conservation and her background as a trial attorney has shaped her major goals:
- to have people learn about the ocean and its inhabitants;
- through this newfound knowledge people will act to protect the oceans and become ocean advocates.
To accomplish these goals Deanna created Discover the Depths. Deanna brings fun, interactive, educational presentations to people of all ages to learn about marine animals and ecosystems.
Deanna is a volunteer interpreter and diver at John G. Shedd Aquarium. She enhances aquarium guests experience by sharing interesting information about the Shedds collections.
At our meeting, we will also be discussing our upcoming dive charters and other events.
We will be meeting in the basement at Lalo's. 7-7:30 is our traditional Meet and Greet, when you will be able to order food and drink. The business meeting and announcements start at 7:30 and the presentation will start at approximately 8:00.
