Chicago may be my kind of town, but it’s much more than that. I live in the South, and I have found over the years that there is no destination for mind-blowing blues music like Chicago. From the world famous Kingston Mines that we visited on this trip, to the blues tour I was on a few years back with Mrs. Big (a legend herself). She moved us around south Chicago in a school bus on a musical utopia to 6 blues clubs. It is all the proof I need, Chicago blues is second to none.

What was I really doing in the Windy City? I was there for the scuba diving convention of course, and one of the best in the country I might add. The consumers were out to find their next BC or dive trip and I am very happy to see that the diving industry will not take the economy propaganda lying down. The announcement of the coast-to-coast syndication of our show “Into The Drink” seems to have helped provide the industry we love with a stimulus package of our own. It was a weekend that no one trying to make a living in the dive industry should have missed, and it is definately a weekend that divers from at least 200 miles away should make a yearly event, we will be there.

While the dive show and great music are a duo worthy of planning a weekend in Chicago, I think you will all find that the HD production we did for the Our World-Underwater dive show experience will give you the reason to join us next year. If you did not take the time to attend this powerhouse dive show in a city of culture and greatness, your teaser will be available on www.diveshow.tv in a matter of days. It will no doubt have you checking the schedule and dates for next year’s Our World-Underwater show.
