DiverDurf, Sinbad and others who got OW certed in 2008: cheers!! me too!
Yep, I didn't have any diving-related New Year's Resolutions in 2008 because at the start of last year I wasn't a diver. It took a conference in Croatia in August to give me the final push to get qualified at last (been there in 2007 and marvelled at the crystal-clear water while snorkelling, so I wasn't going to miss out on the diving this time round) and now I can't believe it took me so long to get round to it!
So, my diving goals for 2009:
1. Dive MORE!!!
2. Dive in the UK -- and not just in a swimming pool! All my OW dives have been overseas so far, but if I'm going to live up to 1. above, then I figure I'll need to start diving locally.
3. Get a dry-suit qualification (useful for 2.!) I know the specialisation cert isn't necessary, but if it's something I'm going to be doing a lot of then I may as well learn to do it well...
4. Do the Rescue Diver course.
5. Learn to take better underwater pictures!
What are others hoping to achieve this year?
