Looking for a Chicago area location for PADI certification...

I have been diving for about 10 years and would like to buy a PADI Open Water Certification course for my wife, who has expressed interest.

We live just west of the Loop in the city. I was certified in Alsip, but that's too far for her to travel with her schedule.

Can anyone recommend a shop/instructor in the city or within 10-12 miles?

Scuba Systems in Skokie would be my recommendation. About 15 minutes from the Loop. The owner's name is Larry. Really friendly and knowledgable people work there. Tell him that Bill "the scrapman" sent you! Good luck!!
