Took longer than expected but I finally have 100+ dives. This post is to thank all the members of Scubaboard who contributed to my diving development. And a special thanks to TSandM for providing some great advice and inspiration and Jim Lapenta who also provided great advice and helped alot with gear advice/configuration/sale etc.
The reason I thought to do this is because i recently spent 3 weeks in Grand Cayman and could not get enough kudos from fellow divers, dive masters, instructors etc. Not just the way I dive but the way I was always prepared for everything. Honestly, I have always been commended by fellow divers and dive masters for my diving. What was really surprising was when I got major kudos from a TDI Instructor (cave, sidemount etc) who led a dive I was on and refused to believe I had no technical training whatsoever. He is eager to do some technical training when I return and insists I would be his easiest student ever.
ScubaBoard has always been my go to source for advice on diving and improving my diving, between these forums, general research, watching youtube videos and practicing every single dive I would say I have become a very proficient diver. I don't think i have any good video to post of myself as my wife hasn't started back diving with her camera yet and the gopro is usually in my hands. I just have this screenshot for now:
So... thanks to all you guys... and I will continue to improve my diving with every dive... hopefully when I comb through 3 weeks of footage I might find a vid or two of what I look like in motion.
