Congrats on reaching that milestone so quickly...quite an achievement being a midwesterner.

I did my 100th dive yesterday!

Massive milestone for me. I don't 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).

Congratulations on your accomplishments.

Congrats on reaching that milestone so quickly...quite an achievement being a midwesterner.

I'm a hardy Midwesterner. Michigan native (below the bridge troll). Even spent 16 months living in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula 25 years ago. Yesterday for Dunkin Punkin, it was about 36F when we started at 8am. Water temp was 61. The cold kept people away, unlike the rain and mud from last year. I dove wet in my new 7mm.

I've been diving just about every week since the quarry opened April 1. The past six weeks or so, I dove both Saturday and Sunday. You can dive plenty here as long as the cold doesn't bother you much.
