I want to Scuba Dive in Lake Michigan out of Chicago, but can't find a charter place that rents equipment too.

Question

Are there any places that leave from Chicago, and go out on Lake Michigan and will rent me a BC, Regulator, and Tank? I'm certified, but BC recently broke and despite what I've been told by the one dive outfit I 've found here, why would anyone own their own tank?

Answer 1

Have you checked the PADI site? They have listings of all the PADI certified shops in the area, and could probably point you in the right direction.

BTW, although a number of folks do own their tanks, at least as many do not. I had tanks, but they had old-style valves, so I gave them away.

Answer 2

dont the water in the lake is so dirty lol its not even funny
