Hey Michelle... glad you joined this wild and wacky group. It can be a lot of fun (when it isn't, it's still fun).
I started my diving career in the old Doetsch Brothers quarry off Milwaukee Road in Glenview. These days it's a "fancy" sports club (Valley Lo), but I was there in the early transitional days since I knew the Doetsch brothers (and eventually managed the waterfront there... ah, a crew of seven lovely female guards, and I was too inoocent and naive to know several of them were interested in me).
Oops, sorry for the reminiscing... good memories of the Midwest. Enjoy your diving adventures here, there and everywhere!

Thanks JRO!!! I simply run dive trips like I enjoy trips being run. Seems my tastes match those of most everybody else as well!!!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....
