there is most notably Lake Michigan. There is also Haigh Quarry in Kankakee which is south of Chicago. This is an interesting place with a few things to see. There are a few other places like Pearl Lake in South Beloit & Brandon Rd Quarry in Joliet.
What kinds of diving do you like to do, and which part of the Windy City will you be relocating too? There are quite a few of us around the area. Lake Michigan is definitely THE DIVING to do.

I'll be relocating to the Waukegan/ N. Chicago area.
I dive anything, but agreeable the great lakes fascinate me the most, wreck diving and what not, would even try ice diving. But cold & deep does not bother me, used to it, have dry suit. Quarries are fine as well, open all year?
Thanks for responding. Any contact info would be great.

Shoot me a PM if you need a buddy.
Ditto here... always up to dive.
Heck with as many Chi-Town folks we got on here - why don't we have our own NDI forum with a snazzy club name.... (That would probably require initiative....)

You seem like a guy with plenty of iniative. If you build it, they will come.

Around here, the only place I've dove at was Haigh. It's not bad, though it was a bit chilly a few weeks ago. Are there any places around here to dive come winter that don't involve ice or driving to Bonne Terre?
