New diver here, looking for a buddy

[Varun]

Hi everyone,
I'm aware of the buddy finder utility on this site, but also wanted to post here for more publicity. I'm located in central illinois (champaign) & got certified last November. I haven't been on a dive yet after my certification, so if anyone's looking for a new diving buddy, please let me know!

Not sure of groups in Champaign, but there are groups in northwestern Indiana (https://www.facebook.com/groups/213197478703320/) and Chicago (The Chicago Scuba Meetup Group (Chicago, IL) - Meetup).

Congrats on the cert! If you book a spot on a charter (I'm assuming you'd dive the Great Lakes based on your location) you'll start making dive buddies right away.
