My shop -- Y-Kiki Divers -- is having a fun-dive trip to Haigh Quarry this weekend, July 26-27, in Kankakee IL.
We will have about a dozen folks participating, so there will be plenty of buddies to go around, and the water temp is conducive to wet suit diving. Come on along.
I'll be diving the next several weekends as well, but in colder places.

I need to make it up to Haigh sometime... I have never dove there, but have heard nothing but good things.

Yes. It is a very nice facility, with nearly as many amenities as Mermet.
Typically, though, the viz is better and it is warmer.
Current conditions are 25 ft. visibility, with 72 F temp in the shallow water and 60 F temp in the deep water.
It is a little longer drive, though, at about 4 hours. Cheap rooms at the Motel 6, and plenty of good restaurants nearby.

Mermet is definitely wet suit temp right now. Dont hesitate to head down. We are planning on being there next weekend. (August 2th and 3rd)

Haigh and Mermet are both awesome dives - we expect updates on Scuba Steves' Midwest Diving Reports
The Dive Stop is close and a lot of local divers hang out there. I suggest heading out there and talking to people and you will have somebody to dive with. There are groups always going down to Mermet and take The Skull up on his invitation on Haigh. It's a great dive and The Skull is a very good person. Not knowing anybody is easy to fix. The midwest and especially the St. Louis area has a lot of great people in the dive community. All of which will dive with you with a little notice. Most without notice, just show up. I live 3 hours away from St. Louis and don't have problems finding dive buddies in the St. Louis area.
