Today, Pedro Pablo who has been an integral part of the Blue XT~Sea team for 15 years celebrates dive #13,000! Yes, he really logs every dive - ask him to see his spiral notebook collection - haha!

Thank you for your years of service and for being part of my family Pedro! Te quiero mucho "Jefe."

WoW!! If you figure an average dive time of ~50 minutes, that's ~650,000 minutes underwater, or ~10,833 hours underwater, or ~451 straight 24 hour days underwater or 1.24 years underwater.
(I think my math is correct...feel free to chime-in if it's not)

Indeed and I can tell you that his average dives are closer to 70 minutes. He also doesn't use air apparently. I was on a dive with him once when I had a low fill tank. It had 1600 psi. He said he would dive with it. We did a 65 minute dive and he came back on the boat with 700 psi left.

And to rack up 13,000 dives, it takes diving full time! He dives 5-6 days a week month after month, year after year - 2 to 4 dives a day for the past 25 years. So that is an average of about 520 dives a year. He takes a 3 week vacation each year - that's how you get to 13,000 dives! He is the consummate professional and he's my chosen family and my "Jefe." haha!
