Haigh Quarry...

Posted 1 Week Ago at 13:45 by ILDiver
Saturday June 20th was a great day to be diving. It had been raining pretty good the week leading up to it. I thought the visibility would be down for sure. Not even, the vis was 30' - 40'. I do not get up there often enough. It's a 2.5 hour drive for me. It was great to be able to see the contours of the bottom. There is so much character to it. I want to go up and explore it more, off the beaten path so to speak.

The reason I was there was to take students out for their...

Memorial day weekend, time to dive! I have not been freediving in awhile. I don't do NEAR enough freediving. Wreckrunner recently bought a boat, so I was headed up for my first trips out on the S.S. I'm On A Boat (not it's real name, but...) I left Friday night to stay with Mr and Mrs Wreckrunner and leave early am to head out to Lake Michigan.

We got the boat in the water and then waited for this crazy polish guy to show up, Nostres. The lake was flat and the water was a cool...

The first weekend of May was my NAUI instructor exam. There were 3 of us that took the course, one was a Crossover from PADI, but Greg and I took the full course.The 3 of us passed the exam and I am now a Scuba Instructor! It's such a relief to have the course done and over with, now the real fun begins!
