I would like to thank all of you that have responded to my questions....I went looking on Trip Advisor, the big vacation site, and found nothing at all about my request....but, after reading your replies here, I am happy to say, I will be going to the Hales Corners location of our local dive shop, Underwater Connection.... http://www.uwconnection.com/


I will be going there to put down my deposit on my trip for November 7, on the liveaboard out of Freeport.....and it will be a welcome respite from a fall weekend in Wisconsin.....I started diving under 2 years ago, and this will be my biggest trip.....and am confident that all will go well, I am a panicky diver, but know my limits, and understand all that is involved...I should have done this years ago as a lifeguard at the hometown YMCA indoor pool....I saw too many scuba classes to count.....but at 18, I did not have the cash to take the class....(stupid me) I turn 50 and get the urge to get wet.....! A couple of resort courses later, I do the PADI open water classes and confined dives here in January, and go to Cancun a couple of weeks later, and I am hooked!


I have to say, that all of you drysuit divers, and Icedivers...go for it! I will be there for you on the surface, but give me the Blue, warm, Caribe and lets get wet! Lake Michigan will never see my mask!


Thanks again for your replies.....Rodney
