2018 stats and accomplishments

[happy-diver]

Great stats folks, puts a humanity with the names

Fifty two dives here in a grossly weather dependent weekend diving environment

 

[kablooey]

Due to two medical problems requiring surgery, I made only 7 dives in 2018.
That's down from 41 dives in 2017.
In previous years I averaged about 80 dives a year.

Hoping to rebound in 2019.
I still love to dive.

Best wishes to everyone in 2019 and beyond.

2018 - 25 dives, 21:59 of bottom time, averaging 0:52:45/dive. 21 of 25 done on a double hose. Missed the whole summer here as vis was brutal, and family needs trumped scuba.

Two family trips to Curacao, and a family trip to Tobermory made for some fun for the year.

I live in a scuba desert so 25 this year was the most I've done in a year. 3 in Iowa, 7 in Illinois, 2 in Missouri, 9 in Cozumel, 4 in California.

New toys: BP/W; 7 mm suit, hood, and gloves for cold water; sharkskin jacket for warm water; regulator; Sea&Sea strobe; UK primary light.

New certifications: EANx, Perfect Buoyancy, Deep, Wreck, Stress and Rescue, Photography.

Baby #3 due in May, so 2019 probably won't be much more than the 8 or so dives I do next week in Cozumel.

Here my stats.

New year resolutions:

- Dive as much as possible
- Level up to Tec45
- Start to seriously consider the rebreather world

I'll throw my numbers in here... not overly impressive (and quite probably entirely inaccurate), but why not?

Total dives: 144
Max depth: 213'
Avg depth: a far-less impressive 21'
Average time: 25 minutes
Total time: 3620 minutes
Max dive time: 127 minutes (though I am skeptical of this)

I did get my average RMV to 0.58 cf/min... which I think I'm happy about but don't entirely believe.

Aside from 4 dives in Tobago, and 10 in Pompano Beach, the rest were in Ontario (but that also included 3 ice dives IIRC).

Completed Advanced Wreck, Normoxic Trimix, and Sidemount courses.

Courses:
Tech sidemount
Tech 40


Plan for this year:
Go home!

This year I enjoyed plentiful of bottom time. Glad to be healthy enough and also to share this gift with others.

My heart was delighted to have my last dive of 2018 with this loving couple too!

I quite enjoy diving.

Dive more, post more.
