100th dive!

[Marie13]

I did my 100th dive yesterday!

Massive milestone for me. I don't know if you folks know quite how massive.

Last day the quarry was open for the season.

I had a good number of folks with me on the dive: my instructors, two regular buddies, and a friend in from out of state. Said friend hadn't dived with me since my first post-cert dives last October when I was very nervous. She was astonished at the 180 my diving has taken.

I was determined to improve so I was a divin' fool this season. I'm off to Mermet Springs in a few weeks, then it's pool work until the quarry opens again in early April.

To top it off, I won DRIS' Dunkin Punkin event (that's what I call it, underwater pumpkin carving) for the second year in a row. Costume was Annie Oakley. I dove in my costume. Last year's prize was a Halcyon BP/W. This year's was an Apeks XTX50 din reg. I'll put it together with the one I already have, add hoses/SPGs, and I have my SM regs (will also have 5th port added).

Welcome to the Century Dive Club and congratulations. And co-incidentally, I won one of the local underwater pumpkin carving contests myself this past Saturday. First time I'd done it but had a lot of fun.

And what did you win?

And what did you win?

An Akona rolling carry-on bag. Very nice prize. Not as nice as a regulator, but still, it was something we had been looking at getting so now can put that money towards something else.
