Just wanted to pop in to say hello to all you wonderful folks! This is a GREAT site you have here and I am sooooo glad I found yall!!LOL!
I'm looking forward to joining you all on some future trips and finally getting to meet some of you in person. I'm relatively new to diving (1 1/2 years) and don't have a lot of dives under my belt. Hopefully now that I've found you guys, I can change that around an start diving more....
Anyway...if anyone is in/near Chicago, I'd sure like to talk to ya about the local dive scene. I've been doing most all my diving in Mexico on vacations during the winter months.
Chat later!
Michelle

Welcome aboard Norms kid!!! 
Strange, but interesting (and fun) group here, I'm sure you'll have a blast.
From all accounts the trips planned by WW are quite the experience.
On that note, welcome to SD....

Hey Michelle! to sd.com! You're going to love it here! Triggerfish is up your way, so you'll have a great start to compiling a whole host of dive buddies near you. She usually gets on the board later in the day. Maybe you'll want join her & all the others on a trip to NC to dive the wrecks up there!

Darlin',
Welcome to our home! Thanks for introducing yourself.
You'll want a dry suit (and the training), but you have some great diving in your area! I came up for a long weekend last summer. Saturday we dived two wrecks out of Milwaukee and on Sunday two out of Chicago (caught the boat near Soldier Field). The dives were fantastic! You should get involved with the local diving. Of course, diving in that cold water will get you all the more excited about going on warm water trips with us. We're also looking into a Great Lakes trip you won't want to miss.
It'd be nice if you uploaded an avatar so we can get to know you better. Let me know if you need help.

What would Patton do...? 
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset.
Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.
