I'm a relatively new diver from the Chicago area and keen to get back under water. I'll treat any buddy to lunch! Just ping me an email and let me know if you can join me (my wife won't let me dive alone and she can't make it). Thanks! Andrew Y.

Andrew,Your wife is smart,as you should heed the advise.I'm going to try and get there the same day's.I have my Advance cert.I recently got a Dry suit and need to practice.Had the DUI expo not been going on today I would have tried Sat. 12th.Also,weather provided.Greg

Thanks for the post/reply Greg. Do you want to plan on touching base that Friday or Thursday before (Jun 24-25)? What is your direct email and mobile #? You may reach me at andrew_yeager@yahoo.com. Would appreciate the company so I may dive the Quarry!

Evening gentlemen,

I will be at Haigh on the 26th. I have my open and advanced with a few specialties. I just completed a dive at France Park in Indiana. Looking to try my new camera and housing... Any takers?

Just let me know.

Jeff

Jeff,sounds good.Lets see what the weather does by then.Maybe the 3 of us can stay close on the Dives..As the date comes closer,I'll post something here.I am curious how is rte 57? Heard traffic is really bad....

Greg and Jeff:

Sounds like a plan. Let's connect the week of 6/21 and arrange a general meeting time, etc. As my plan stands now, I'd like to get to be in the water at the quarry before 10 am on Saturday, 6/26. Talk soon. Andrew Yeager

Morning Guys,

I can be there before 10am.. It is about a 2hr drive for me.. No sweat! I am hoping to use a new underwater housing that I recieved for Fathers Day. If it cmes in on time... Let me know if we are still on.. I'll check the board daily to make sure..

Jeff

Jeff,Yes,I'll do the same.Cross our fingers on the weather.I was at Pearl yesterday.Vis is terrible.Temp at 40' was about 48.Suit is working great...Talk soon..Greg

Jeff and Greg:

Ok, Thursday evening it is.. I will be driving a white Dodge Grand Caravan W/IL plates. Might be a good idea to meet at the pro shop.. I am supposed to have my Camera housing and light by then.. Could be some pretty cool video opportunity.. Chat again, Thursday..

Jeff,I don't want to burst your bubble of excitment.If you have done diving at Haigh before,I don't have to tell you that the vis is not the greatest.Depending on how many classes are going on...After being at Pearl on Sat.I'm hoping I can see more than 10 to 15'.No joke....Anyway,I have a Red Chevy P/U.Dan Tag on the back...Crossing my fingers on the weather...Talk soon Guy's..

Hey Greg, Yeah.. I know what you mean. I have been to Haigh before.. I love it, it is clean and well run. That being said, NOTHING in the Midwest compares to the Caribbean. Been there done that (and loved it).. My goal is more to test out the camera, maybe get video of some wildlife etc..  and have a great time. So far according to Weather Underground, we may be ok.

Jeff

If anyone will be there early, I'll be there around 7:30-8:00 on the 26th, looking to dive until late afternoon.

Jeff & Andy,Looks like the weather had other plans.Woke up to it ay 5 a.m.Forcast doesn't look promising either.I would have to leave by 2 anyway due to a appt.Tommorow we have company coming.I'd like to think next weekend.So sick of this  bad weather on the weekends...Sorry,if either of you want to e mail me I'm at greggeuss@gmail.com.I would rather give phone #'s over that..Greg
