I was curious after reading another thread about being tired after diving. I for one am not in good shape at all and do not excercise regularly. I am 44 years old and usually do three dives per day trip because my buddies usually stop at three. However given the opportunity, I would go four or even five easily. This is mostly warm water, no wet suit diving so I know it is different in more demanding conditions.
When I was in my twenties and living in California, my log book shows some days on a live aboard when I managed ten dives per day including night dives. The group of divers I dove with in California were real dive monsters I guess. After moving to the Philippines I found most divers here so relaxed. I remember the diving in California being more strenous because of the colder water and thicker wetsuits.
Anyway, I was wondering how much diving others are doing on their typical days out diving before they call it quits for the day. I find its a lot of effort to get out so I try to make the most of each day diving.
