Okay, so what are everyone's goals for this upcoming summer?

Mine:

A: FINALLY make it out on a boat trip with Lynnhaven (I've had a boat ticket for 2 years+. One broken leg, and perhaps 10 weather canceled dives!)
B: Finish the AOW course I started with DQ (Need to do the dives)
C: Perhaps make it down to check out Fantasy Lake in NC (Anyone have comments on it?)
D: Maybe work on Advanced Nitrox after I finish AOW.
E: Correlate the data from computers with log book. I've been letting the computers keep the numbers, need to make a spreadsheet.

Yours?
 
- Dive the Oriskany
- Get down to FLA caves two more times this year
 
I'm going to keep my goals simple and try to dive every weekend. Work notwithstanding.

Fantasy Lake is a nice facility, I'm from NC and rolesville was the closest quarry to me so we would make the occasional trip when we couldn't afford to take a charter. There's a school bus, ~12 passenger airplane, various auto's and my favorite the rock crusher that was left in the quarry which is fun to explore at around 35-50 feet. There is also a "deep hole at" ~75 feet. Its only 15 bucks if my memory serves me correctly. Its a good time when the weather is nice, there are grills/picnic tables/camping areas so throw a bbq, stay the night, whatever suits your fancy, or fantasy, haha. Better than Rawlings.
 
Well I HOPE to be moving to Florida at some point this summer, so once I get down I'm just going to keep working on my trim & buoyancy, and just getting comfortable in the water. One I reach a certain comfort level I'm going to take Rescue with ScubaKevDM of Underwater Explorers in Boynton Beach.
 
Im hoping to:
Dive the Oriskany
Dive The Duane and The Spiegel
Dedicated a week to Venice Florida Diving
Dive off VA Beach
Dive Off Ocean City Md
Dive more at the Rawlings or in Pa when I find I cant afford the other goals.
 
A: Do my first night dive.
B: Get nitrox cert.
C: get in at least 10 dives this year.
D: Get drysuit cert.
 
Dive , Dive , Dive.
Where is really not that important, but trips to the quarry (any quarry) will be very limited.
I have 4 trips set to go with Capt. JT Capt JT's Wreck Diving Site 1 in May off Va. Beach, then in Hatteras for 1 in June, July & August.
Getting my wifes Advance Nitrox/ Deco dives in so I can concentrate on my Trimix this October.
Plan on hitting the Morgan with Lynnhaven May 26th (I think) for Super Dive weekend. Can't beat a Morgan dive for $60.
Would love to get to Pensacola some time this year for what I am sure everyone knows.
I have a friend that is moving down there & has offered a place to stay & is in the process of starting a dive operation. Sounds too easy not to jump on.
