Introduction
Have only been diving in earnest for the last four years, but have been trying to make up for lost time. Mostly local and Lake Michigan diving, but I try to get in one warm water trip a year if possible.

What is the best dive experience you have ever had?
Can't make up my mind whether it was Cozumel, Key Largo, or the Northerner wreck in Lake Michigan! I think I will have to pick the Northerner.
Why did you join the Chicago Scuba Meetup?
To meet local people interested in scuba diving, both locally and beyond
Where have you dived?
Cozumel, Key Largo, Boynton Beach Florida, Puget Sound, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Haigh Quarry, Gilboa Quarry, Pearl Lake, Devils Lake and the St. Joseph river in Michigan.
When were you certified? How many dives have you logged?
In 2001, but didn't become serious until late 2004. 300+ dives.

"It would be nice to know more about the diver death. What actually caused it? I would think that a malfunctioning dry suit hose would be a problem, but how did it cause a drowning?"
