Florida divers - I thought it would be fun to share some of our diving experiences from 2021. Post up how many dives you did this year, your most memorable dive, your deepest dive, something new you learned, and a new piece (or pieces) or gear you acquired in 2021.
I'll kick it off:
Dives: 181
Total descent: 13,478 ft = 2.55 miles.
Deepest dive: 109 ft on the Spiegel Grove
Memorable Dives:
New Dive Gear: 2x HP Steel 100's, 2x LP 85's (gifted from a neighbor), Scuba Pro Mk25 and S560 for my pony rig, DiveRite BP/W, Scuba Pro Seawing Nova Gorilla fins, and a pair of free diving fins that I haven't used yet.

Memorable Dives:
- Diving with my girlfriend and sister in law during the Goliath Grouper aggregation. My SOL had never seen a Goliath before and the experience blew her mind.
- A string of late summer hunting trips off Palm Beach with my hunting buddy where we each came back with zoo keepers full of bugs and lion fish. Those we're some of my first encounters with curious sharks while hunting. I learned a lot during those few trips.
