hello

i have been looking around for info about scuba diving & came across this site

my hubby & I LOVE the water!
we have 2 fish tanks at home~ 1 salt water & 1 fresh & love that whole underwater world!
we have snorkeled a few times, but are interested in trying scuba now
since the winters are LONG & COLD here i thought it would be fun to learn about scuba over the next few months to keep us entertained.

ANY info, help, advice, recommendations...pretty much ANYTHING you can offer to me/us would be awesome!!

i heard scuba can be addicting??

I cant wait to chat & learn!!!
thanks

Welcome,

You might want to try the scuba pool at the annual Chicago dive show Our World Underwater. That'll let you try scuba gear before signing up for a class. You'll have to wait until Feb. 20th though.. until then keep reading ScubaBoard and look into local dive shops.
