Howdy from Chilly Chicagoland

[Timmyjoe]

Hi,

My name is Tim and I am new to diving. Got certified a couple weeks ago while diving the reefs of John Pennekamp State Park off Key Largo. Back in the chilly Midwest (Chicagoland area) now where I'll be diving at Pearl Lake in South Beloit, IL and Haigh Quarry in Kankakee, IL this summer.

Looking forward to meeting local divers and buddying up to get as much time underwater as possible.

Best,
-Tim

Welcome to the club...maybe I'll see you there!

Thanks Tater.

Do you dive Pearl Lake often?

Best,
-Tim

Welcome. You might want to join Chicago dive meet-up (http://www.meetup.com/chicago-scuba-meetup/), or Lake County divers meetup (http://www.meetup.com/Lake-County-Scuba/). You can also try a local dive club, depending where in Chicagoland you're located

Thanks Mshahaf.

I will look into both of those sites. I'm in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago.

I'm at Pearl or Haigh couple times most months in summer...I'll be the one one in the black wetsuit.

Really though, let me know if you are going or want to go and we can dive!

Thanks Tater, that would be great.

Best,
