Introduction

I'm a recreational and technical diving instructor who enjoys diving the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes.

Where did you find out about the Chicago Scuba Meetup Group?

All of my friends are members of the CSM.

If you are a diver, what is the best dive experience you have ever had?

All diving has been great.

Why did you join the Chicago Scuba Meetup?

Meet other Chicago area divers and find more diving buddies.

If you are a diver, where have you dived?

Jamaica, Maui, Bora Bora, Moorea, Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos, Aruba, US Virgin Islands, the Great Lakes, and any lake, pond, quarry, or mudhole in the Chicago area.

Are you certified? If so, when were you certified? How many dives have you logged?

Certified in 2001. Became an instructor in 2004 and a technical instructor in 2008. I log 100-150 non-teaching dives per year. I try to dive all year round, that includes ice diving. I've logged 800+ dives.

I am putting together a small group to dive wrecks in the Philippines in June, probably after 17 June. Probably Subic Bay and Coron.

Cost will be airfare, plus diving and room and board. You pay all your own costs, I will help with arrangements only. I am not a travel agent. Cost per day should be less than $125 per day for divers and under $50 a day for non-divers. Let me know, if you would like more info.

Send me your E-mail address. You can contact me at - [masked]

Hello Duane and welcome to our group. If it's diving you love and Dive Buddies your looking for, you have come to the right place. We dive Beaver Lake, Tenkiller and Oronogo. We also dive exotic locations like Cozumel and more. We are working on a trip to Ruatan and the Florida Keys for some time next year.

Duane,

I was but I think I got dropped somehow. I really was not that active so it would be understandable.
