Hello From Chicago.

[Ski0331]

Hey every one,
Not my first post here but I'm still really new. Just came back into the country and was given a gift of a gift certificate to go diving this summer for a two tank dive in lake mich. I'm living in Chicago permanently now but there's a catch. I know zero divers or where to begin. Any advice or ideas would be great on how to meet new divers or at least get started. I'm going to college for engineering currently and so my social life is between the pages of a calculus text book. I'm 28 a marine veteran and trying to turn this into my escape from school and stress. So any advice will be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. I love to learn so please forgive me if I ask questions and advice. Have a great day. look forward to talking to y'all here.

Check out the Chicago Scuba Meetup. It is a strong open group of local divers who dive a lot. They have monthly meetings open to all.

Also locally is Haigh Quarry In Kankakee. Tina is awesome and it's easy to find people to dive with.

Check out Dive Right In Scuba, they have charters that go out regularly. If you need a dive buddy for the day, I'd be happy to jump on board a DRIS charter.
