I'd like to do at least three good trips up into Canada, and find out about the fabulous diving everybody reports when they go up there.

You should come east one trip and try some Great Lakes wreck diving!

I think I did about 75 dives this year with no 7 day dry period all year long. When I go diving I do one longish dive a day... training not included. That would push the total up a bit.

Longest dive, 92 min. Shortest 48 min.

Coolest thing this year was figuring out how to attract sharks with the "shark telephone" (don't ask, I'm keeping it a secret).

Biggest disappointment this year is that the number of deco dives was fairly limited. Maybe 10.

goal for 2010 is to dive more "?" on the north sea and to take a live-aboard trip on Egyptian wrecks.
