    Soon to be New Diver in Chicago area

    Welcome to Chicago diving. Haigh is the place to start but you will want to be in the Lake before you know it. Agree with all the others, don't buy anything yet. We have specific needs for local diving (i.e. low vis, cold water dives) which are best addressed with experience, especially cold...

    Merino lined vs. lavacore vs. otter bay custom hood

    I dive Lake Michigan and I use a 12mm Otter Bay. Have had it to 34 degrees with great comfort. I have had no issue with fit or flexibility and it is by far the warmest hood I have ever used in the Lake. There is additional buoyancy. I have been so pleased with my Otter bay, that I have just...

    How do you other boatowners deal with the delicate subject of money and divers?

    My Dive Buddies and I follow this golden rule for private boat diving- YOU SUPPLY THE BOAT WE PAY FOR THE GAS. My analysis of all the costs associated with boat ownership make this the most equitable agreement This rule ensures a GREAT day on the water for everyone, and hopefully a boat owner...

    SP A700 issues. Need advice!

    Same issue in Lake Michigan. Got rid of the SP A700/MK-17 and now use an Apeks XTX200 (1st and 2nd). 100 dives later- NO issues at all with the Apeks. I do use a SP mk25/s600 in warm water

    Dive shops for beginners in Chicago?

    The Chicago answer for your question is Haigh Quarry. Tina has rental gear and it is a regional dive training center. There will always be someone to join and usually some very experience divers that will welcome you with open arms. The Black Sabbath concert is, if Im correct, in Tinley Park...

    Compass recommendation

    SK-7 No question the best compass for underwater navigation. I still use my Sk-7 even with the electronic compass available on my Galileo SOL. A great, spot on compass

    I was in the water immediately upon being cleared. My dive doc at the time (military M.D.) made it clear that the issue would be ability to clear. Started dives shallow (60 feet or less) and within 2weeks was back to complete comfort- no residual issues (psychological or physical) with no...
