What diving have you not gotten around to doing?

[Mr Carcharodon]

Monterey California here too. Point Lobos is supposed to be the bomb and and I have not managed to get out the the door to do it. It's five hours away so far enough to have to devote a weekend to it, or better a long weekend. Still not too much to give up for a reportedly great site. Maybe a combined trip with the Big Sur marathon or the Sea Otter Classic.

I cert'd in Puget Sound, actually Ft Warden in 83 and have not been back. Always have wanted too. Kelp forest in Cali, Galapagos, Palau.

In that case, I've done them all. Carter Lake (depth 15-20 feet), Chatfield Reservoir (21 feet), and Aurora Reservoir (35 feet, with a sunken Cessna!). Yes, I have completed the Colorado Trifecta!

Wait, I don't see Turquoise Lake on that list!

If I can find another hard-core diver to join me, I'd love to do Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park this summer (elev 10080 ft, 2 mile hike in, usually iced-up until July). Hint.

Time and money stops me. Truk would be my 1st choice. In fact if that's the only place I was able to do I'd be happy. Another dive would be a polar ice dive south or north pole.

Ice diving (really want to walk upside down on sheet ice for unknown reasons)
cave diving... because it's awesome.


that's probably it for the next few years.

One of the primary reasons I actually came to the Solomons five years ago was to dive the USS Aaron Ward. Still haven't done it! Logistics have fallen through, or we've been too busy when it would have been easy, etc. Really have to do something about that.

There's also, apparently, a sinkhole that may lead, a couple of miles from the dive shop. It's entirely possible there's an entire cave system. Haven't explored it yet, as access issues are just too much of a headache - the family who claim the land the sinkhole is on (land here is held by customary right, rather than by deed, so it can be hard to work out who has the right to what) seem to think it's full of Japanese gold and we're going to steal it. Ho hum.

And there's a plane wreck I know the approximate position of, in around 25m of water - it's probably either a G4M 'Betty' or a Ki-21 'Sally'. Just can't seem to get around to filling doubles and a stage with 32%, slinging an O2 deco and spending 90 minutes doing search patterns! We did find a P39 Airacobra on our first search attempt a year ago, though, so it's not all bad...

That's the local stuff I keep failing to do. Now, if the OP lets us have bucket lists, there's Bikini, HMS Hermes, the Prince of Wales and the Repulse... Endless.

I have dived Turquoise Lake, but I wanted to use the word "trifecta" and couldn't add that fourth one. I have also dived Jefferson Lake (elevation 10,400 feet). If I added Emerald, then with Turquoise and Jefferson I could claim the 10,000'+ trifecta.

If I had to add the reason I have not done a particular dive, I would say that carrying scuba gear 2 miles at 10,080 feet would be part of that excuse. At Turquoise, we only had to walk a few feet from our cars to the water, and that was the hardest part of the dive. Carrying my steel doubles across the parking lot at Jefferson almost killed me. Come to think of it, breathing O2 off of a deco bottle while walking to the water's edge might be a good strategy at that altitude.

I've been wanting to get over to Port Townsend for a long time ... and just never seem to get around to it ...

There is a heckuva lot of diving I'd love to still do. I tend to break it down regionally:

Locally
I have dived pretty much every square inch of the BVI (or so it feels), although there are still one or two remote sites I have never done. If I ever do dive them I'll be kinda sad that there is nothing new left in the area (until a new wreck sinks...).

Mid-range travel
Still never been to Bonaire
One day I really want to dive the wrecks of North Carolina
Ditto the Oriskany.

Boy, that's a long way
One day I will make it to Bikini Atoll.
And to the Yongala.
And to the President Coolidge.

I have reached that sad age when I have enough money to dive anywhere that I would like in the world. But now I just don't have the time...

Wrecks in Lake Superior, never been, but only a 4 hour drive. However, I will be fixing this next week.

Regrettably, I fear there will always be more dives on my todo list than on my done list
