This Year
Well what a good year this has been with the exception of September, I have done over 180 Good dives this year and a few puddle dives and shallow water (below 15 meters) and my target was for 200 so theres still a chance to get there.
some of the memorable wrecks this year have been the Afric, Rotorua, Warrior 2, Enterprise, and Muree with the Enterprise i might be going back at the end of November if i can manage the time off, i now have a good dive buddy Gary (Warmwaterdiver) who is also the fall guy for all the kit i brought this year, with comments like “but Gary said i needed it for safety” used commonly in my house. but another culprit Mr Mark Powell has also had a big influence in my diving this year. Well i have got to a point in diving that longer bottom times and air costs are now pushing me towards the rebreather, and although i have tried to justify it to myself, next year i shall be getting one with Gary and doing the courses over next winter.
Next year will see me through TDI Divemaster, finish advanced wreck (if we haven’t finished it this year) and Advance Trimix however i am diving to 80 meters already but tell me a diver who doesn’t dive beyond there certification
i have met some good friends and alot of new faces from the YD diving forum, i would like to thank Smudge and Helena two very close friends for a great year on a good boat, and some brilliant dives, next year i think I’ll take out a small mortgage for the trips. As for the next year Gary is on the ball there with boats booked through to August next year, i shall be trying to get a week away to do some diving in Scarpa for some new wrecks with hazel (fingers crossed).
well a short post this time but i will edit it at the end of the year with the final totals and any other updates that crop up
