Just wondering how many folks have done.

Surfacing doesn't count :11ztongue
This means you actually leave the water and return.

You should ask how many hours we spend in the water in a day... :10:
 
I did 11 once while helping to research a site for a new artificial reef. Probably not the healthiest thing to do. I sure was careful on my ascents towards the end of the day.
 
When I was DMing and going through all my training, it was very common to average about 5 a day, almost every day. Most of them were shorter dives, at shallower depths. Usually taking a Discover Scuba Class out on thier Open water, Scuba refreshers, Tours, or my own training dives. So usually 40 ft or less. But Id try and sneak in one good 80+ft dive per day.
 
Warm water - 5 dives (Bonaire) with a total bottom time of 5 hours and 28 minutes

Cold water - 4 dives (Nanaimo, BC) with a total bottom time of 3 hours and 43 minutes

Warm water - 5 dives (Ko Bon/Tachai, Thailand) with a total bottom time of 3 hours and 53 minutes.
 
Cool water 7 dives (Catalina), warm water 6 dives (max allowed, Thailand). Diving that frequently I always do my deep dives first, then stay in the shallows (< 40 ft) videotaping for the last few.

I generally don't count a dive if it is less than 30 minutes unless there is a specific reason to.

For the past ten years it's been mainly 1-2 dives per day. I didn't count the short dives during my Divemaster class, otherwise I'd be one of those people bragging about having 20,000 dives. :D

Hey Dr. B,

Out of curiousity, why wouldn't you count all the dives?

Interesting discussion. I'm wondering if there are any guidelines concerning maximum hours underwater in a single day. I'm heading for a dive vacation, and planning on 2-3 dives per day, all at less than 60 ft. Probably most will be 40ft. or less. I'm assuming that with long surface intervals, and doing what my conservative Cobra computer says, I should be okay even if I did more than that. Maybe I'll ask Dr. Deco.
