A friend of mine from work is looking at getting his open water.  The problem for him is his rotating work schedule. He works 24 hours on/48 hours off.  Right now it's only 1 guy. Thanks Nick

 Where are you located? There is a dive shop with an in-store pool in Fair Haven, Michigan (Anchor Bay Scuba) that would work with your friend's schedule.

 I'll run it past him but that's probably a bit to far.  He's on the NW side of chicago, Norwood park to be exact.  Anything around the suburbs would be fine I'm sure.

 Check out Scuba Emporium in Orland Park.  They have an in-store pool.  My fiance is an assistant instructor at the store and the staff is wonderful.  www.scubaemporium.com

 The closest place would be Scuba Systems in Skokie. The Leaning tower YMCA also had a scuba program look into it there. Berry Diving, in Glenview or Northbrook, might work with him, although I'm not certain they have an on-site pool.
