Welcome to cheese country! Where abouts have you moved to so that those of use willing can meet you?
My whereabouts are in Madison, not much diving here unless you like day-time night dives in 60-70 feet of muck at the bottom of Mendota. The lakes right now are pretty algae covered to the point that you have to cut through the green to dive.

You are on the right track to getting some dive buddies - announcing you have a boat and want to dive on a forum like this is kinda like throwing meat to a school of sharks
Seriously though...welcome to Wisconsin - this is a great place to meet some other divers and get out and enjoy the water.

Are you on mnscuba.com? I know people that go out almost every single weekend. Heck I could round up a couple buddies that would be willing to explore the Apostles with you sometime.
