A decade!

Woo hoo!

Just completed my 10th non-babysat (ie no instructor) dive today!

Well actually, it was 9th and 10th, it was a two dive day. Although, with water (and especially air) temps still falling, I think I'm more or less done with the repetitive diving.........started to get a wee bit chilled climbing out of the water after the 30 minute second dive.

congrats, what your next goal?

 

[FreeFloat]

Probably an Advanced course, although I'm seriously thinking about DIR.

Which would be better to take first? I've heard (and had) arguments both ways.

Regardless, I'll need a few more dives before I actually sign up for either...

Probably to survive the next 10 dives..

 

[FreeFloat]

very funny.............

although, making sure my number of descents and number of ascents match, is probably healthy............

hey 10 more dives and u could become a padi DM

Congratulations... best advice I can give you is to get a few more dives under your belt before you sign up for any more courses... you seem to be doing fine just as you are... dive with as many "safe" team-spirited divers as you can. Think about another class in the spring... if you want to do anything at all, take a nitrox class... just for the introduction to some more dive chemistry/physics

I'll be diving until my cold tolerance gives out or I run out of buddies willing to humour me.

I don't think they're running classes in this area til spring anyhow, and besides, they way I know my instructor, I wouldn't be ready for his Advanced class yet, at this time. I tend to be a little hesitant to subject myself to drills in such c-c-c-cold water..... :cold:

Congrats FreeFloat,
I was driving the 401 through Kingston tonight and was going to call you to go for a timmies break... but realized I'd left your # at home. Drats! We could have celebrated!
Finally got myself some more Fleece... you can count on me for some more diving.
