After a year and a half of the Covid shut down of my business, and then my City decided to finally tear up my street, Which they had been saying they were going to do for over the past 10 years. Well June 1 they started ripping out my sidewalk the approach of my drive and 3 1/2 foot deep of my road (designated Truck Route), and almost 1500 ft. of the road leading to my business, as well as NO PARKING on either side of the street. So after 17 years of being in business in the city of DeKalb, IL, and ending with 25 years in Sycamore, IL, I will have to shut my doors because when you can’t get students to your business but yet you have to keep your pool open, Hydro and VIP 40 tanks. Clean and check all the regulators rental wetsuits, repair and replace Air Compressor, filters, quarterly air testing (at a cost of over $7500 yearly), and then sit on inventory for 2 1/2 years. The nine students I had enrolled when the construction started most of the students went elsewhere and I have not heard from any of the other students. And now our great Governor of Illinois has put a mask restriction on once again for everyone that is inside a building which has pretty much scared every parent from allowing their child or children to finish or start a scuba course once again. I just can’t justify keeping the doors open anymore. The only good thing that came out of the Covid situation for me it did allow me to get the many needed surgeries to regain some of my health back. 2 Rt. rotator cuff repairs, Rt. Elbow Repair, Spinal Cord Stimulator replacement, Gallbladder surgery, Rt. wrist repair. All these needed to be done before I could get my Lt. Hip replaced this past January. and of course there were those unfortunate finds of Cancer in my Lt Bicep muscle, Rt. Quadricep muscle, and the good old Prostrate Cancer, as well as an aggressive skin cancer (thank you ladies from my aquatics class at the Y for making me see Dr. Frederick). I’ll be concentrating all of my future Diving efforts into the Freedom Divers International Foundation and continue introducing persons with disabilities to diving and being able to share this with their family and friends.

Follow the pictures and see what fun I have every year at this time. It’s the beginning of Dive season, and I get to open the pool at our facility. From blah to looking good. Hey it only takes about 9 days to get this pool clear and ready to go.
