Hi all I am new to this group and thought I would tell you a little about me.
I was PADI Open Water Certified in July of 04 and have 32 logged dives so far.

I am Doing my certification dives for AOW this weekend (wish me luck)

I do most of my diving at Haigh Quarry in Kankakee, Il. but have dove in Jamaica, Cozumel and Fort Lauderdale. Speaking of Lauderdale I am hopeing to be diving their in about 3 weeks.

I have a Blog you can check it out if you wish www.xanga.com/scubatim (http://www.xanga.com/scubatim)
It has pictures of some of my dives and a bit about most dives I have made to date.

I also spend alot of free time reading the message board diver 2 diver at www. scubadivingmagazine.com.

Welcome Tim, glad to have you over here on this board. I used to spend a lot of time on the Rodales board, but I got to looking at this one, scubaboard, and Deco Stop. I rarely look at the scubadivingmagazine board anymore.

Good luck on your AOW. I going to check out your webpage right now. Welcome. steve

Jules, Steve, Trever and James

Thanks for the welcome and the good luck on my AOW dives this weekend. I will be doing them at Haigh Quarry in Kankakee, IL. With Don from Gooses Scuba in Dyer, IN.

Don was also my instructor for my PADI open water certification. Very good instructor and laid back.

? for Juls what dive shop do you work at maybe I will stop in say hello.

Hope to meet you all at a Midwest dive soon. I will post how things went this weekend when I get home Sunday night.

Just wanted to give all of you an update on my AOW Cert dives Wreck and Peak Performance are under my belt. Navigation, Search and Recovery and Deep in the morning.

Vis sucked but the water was warm 81 to 25 feet 60 at 45 feet.

Good luck tomorrow. It might be a bit cooler on the deep one. Let us know how it turns out.
