Wow,..... I'm at 950 dives now. Seems very real that I may be able to complete the goal within this year. I look back & see how far I've come in 8 yrs,.... from a basic open water diver, to advanced open water diver, to master diver, to advanced Nitrox/ deco diver, cavern & intro to cave diver, to a dive control specialist, to a full cave diver to open water instructor, to advanced open water instructor, & now my newest interest in rebreather diving. Diving has really become a passion for me. I love to share what I do & try to dive any chance I get. I've truly been blessed.
