I just got my GUE-F rec pass from Fred Devos this week (yay). Rather than write one of those long Fundies reports, I'll break my experience down as follows:
  • Day 1: Anticipation.
  • Day 2: I suck.
  • Day 3: Oh well, this is fun anyway.
  • Day 4: I am a god of the deep.

Now I'm looking for other GUE-trained divers in the Chicago area, for team diving fun, and so that my newly-acquired skills and mindset don't fall apart. There must be some--I've met at least one on the RV Aquatica.

In the area, I ordinarily dive Haigh Quarry and with Jim Gentile @ Windy City Divers. But I'm up for anything, and almost any time (I don't at all mind taking a day off to go to HQ during the week, for example).

PM me (The Laconic) if you want to get in touch.

PS Yes, I know this is sort of an FAQ, and I know about the sticky listing DIR divers, and have added myself there.
 
Contact Mer, she just ran a class at DRIS.

That was actually my first course of action. Haven't heard back yet, but she seems to be on sort of a training tour, so maybe she's busy.
 
Congratulations on passing Fundies! Fred Devos is a great instructor!

I'll reach out to a few friends in your area, but a good plan is to grow your own GUE buddies & team :wink:.

That is a fantastic idea, but more of a longer-term plan I think... :)

Congrats on the rec pass!!! I've taken a few gue` classes myself and know the 3 other local gue trained divers that I can introduce you to. Shoot me a PM with your contact info and we'll figure out some time to do some diving.
