One of the major questions Ive been asking myself lately is what I want out of diving, what do I want to accomplish in the next X years. Not in an attempt to stop diving but to get to where I really want to go. IE: If I want to discover some virgin wreck then the next question that ties into it is what do I need to do to get to that point. This has been going around in my head for the last week or so, and I believe the answer I get for myself will determine weather I volunteer for the Seattle Aquarium or other activities. Since there is a stipulation that one has to complete 100 hours of being an interpreter being put on the list for the check out dive to then be able to dive and clean the dome. The reason why I share this with every one; knowing full well I and only I can answer these questions for myself is I guess maybe get some feed back from other people that have maybe already found the answer for themselves. I think the direction of the answer is more complex then I want to dive to 200 feet, or I want to dive the Andrea Doria. To me these are skills to learn and master such as night diving (although they are more complex skill.) Personally I dive because its relaxing, and I want to see really cool stuff in this new world.
A little profile of me:
Im 25 and have been diving over a year. I work at Microsoft as a network engineer. Im a 2x combat veteran from the army with my last tour in Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2004). I have just over 90 dives to my credit all in the Puget Sound with most of those being at night. Ive generally been able to learn and master my diving skills with ease and I hold the following dive certifications:
SSI:
Master Diver
Advanced Open Water
Stress & Rescue
Boat Diving
Night/Limited Vis Diving
Deep Diving
Current Diving
UW Navigation
PADI:
