Hello from suburban Chicago!

[Rapid Star]

Ah very cool! They say that you never forget those first breaths on scuba! Open water is so much more amazing than a pool, even just diving in the quarry as you will soon find out.

I'm going to do my darndest to do the underwater punkin carving at the quarry in October. Just waiting for the date. When I looked last week it wasn't on their website yet.

 

[Rapid Star]

That's cool, it should be a lot of fun from past pictures that I've seen! I will be there to do that with the dive club I belong to on October 8th. If I am not mistaken they have that all month or until they run out of pumpkins!

Chicago Aquanauts? I was thinking of joining myself.

 

[Rapid Star]

Bottom Breathers Dive Club. I haven't heard of Chicago Aquanauts, where are they based out of?

 

[Marie13]

They meet in Mt Prospect. They have a website.

 

[Rapid Star]

Ah I see, I'll have to check them out. Mt. Prospect is a bit of a drive, but worth it for a good club!

Hi Ladies - I am in the western burbs as well. Was out at Haigh last Sunday with DRIS for the first 4 dives for my advanced OW. SUrface temps were good. Looking for dive buddies near me!

 

[Rapid Star]

I'll be there this Saturday, how was the visibility? I was out there two weeks ago and it was less than 10 feet. I'm always looking for someone to dive with, maybe we can find a time and dive Haigh!

 

[Airsipper79]

Visibility ranged from about 10-30 feet at 30' and under depth.
Sorry about addressing you as a "lady"...I guess I should have read the bio first. I went to the last bottom breathers meeting - were you there?
