Getting There
Double Action Dive Charters runs out of Hammond Marina in Hammond, IN in the same general area as the Casino. However, it's not exactly obvious once you get to the Casino area.
*Click on map above for bigger version
- From Chicago...Turn right at the giant "Horseshoe Casino" sign
- Follow around and over the bridge
- As you come down the ramp off the bridge there will be a small brown sign that says "Marina ->" make a sharp right turn / u-turn
- Follow the road all the way back to the Guard Gate
- Tell the guard you are here for Double Action Dive
- He will hand you a pass for your dash and point you to make another U-Turn
- Go past the Marina Port Building and park in the last couple rows of the parking lot BEFORE you reach the Casino itself
Once you Get There
- Park as close to the Entry as possible and walk over and get a complimentary dock cart.
- Put your dive stuff in the cart (including tanks)
- Lock your car and walk thru the Entry and hang a quick right to the end of the first dock
- Restrooms are behind me in this picture, further down the dock in a blueish small building
