That's funny. Check the 20 threads after this one. I am sending you a PM.
The forum is FULL of Buckeye divers. I am pretty familiar with several of the quarries in the area and, if lake diving and wrecks is your thing, there are lots here as well.
Let me know when you arrive and need someone to dive with!!

Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of us. If you want to dive Oct.9-11, take a look at the Meet & Greet XXX thread stickied at the top of the forum. You can find all sorts of threads about Ohio diving and divers. I've not been to the Circleville Twin Quarries, but you can head northwest and find Gilboa Quarry (which is great), Portage Quarry, and Whitestar Quarry.

Hey there!
I dove Gilboa for the first time the day after the WORLD record attempt, and loved it! I've also dove Whitestar and Portage. I'm looking to do some Lake Erie wreck diving, just no luck finding a boat to get out on! Maybe I just need to BUY one myself.... LOL!
Welcome to the boards, and to Ohio! Plenty of divers!

Okay, I called! Spoke with Carrie! The good news, is that she took my name. The BAD news, is the class you need to take is only offered once a year, in April! GEEZ! Anyway, the web site is nice, some good information. I'm excited. I may just drive there to introduce myself and say "howdy".

There are also alot of non-Ohio divers who regularly dive in Ohio. NW Ohio has some of the best training locations in the region. I'm referring to Gilboa, White Star and Portage. You'll run into divers from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Ontario Canada on a regular basis at those quarries. I've also run into folks from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky there as well.
