Hey buckyblue, I am in southeast Wisconsin as well. Fort atkinson to be exact. Got certified last September and am having the same issue of finding a dive partner.

I dive almost every weekend in the summer, locally.

Alot in the spring and fall as well.

The most dependable dive buddies I have found are on SB. Hands down. These folks don't just read or talk about diving. The just flat out love to dive.

Check out the Great Lakes Wrecking Crew subforum or the Drive to Dive group.

Divers (99%) are friendly and welcoming especially to new divers who want to dive, I personally enjoy meeting new divers their enthusiasm and excitement about everything new makes them a welcome addition on dive outings. hang out at your local LDS meet people, find a local club, take an advanced or rescue class to meet other newly certified and future buddies. if there are any local cleanips or events in your area - check them out with any large gathering you are bound to hit it off with a few divers and make buddies for the future.

I too am finding myself in the same boat as you. I am in Northwest Florida, and I do know that there is an active community here, but I work nights, tend to sleep afternoons which leaves my mornings free. I became PADI certified open water in early mid February and just haven't yet been able to get out and dive except for once.

I will keep looking though.

I moved to Chicago and quickly found my way to Chicago Scuba Meetup which is a great group. For Wisconsin you could try the Lake County Scuba meetup.
