200th dive

[Scuba Lawyer]

Congrats! Now for the next 200!

I’m celebrating as this is a huge milestone for me. I’ve been certified about 2.5 years.

That's a great achievement! Congratulations!

I've been certified for almost 15 years but am yet to reach my 100th. Working on it though.

That's a busy amount of dives Marie

Eber Ward


it seems also that Great Lakes divers have a more respectful taste in music

Magnificent, and the history, ice through the bow with five souls lost


alas something I will only be able to visualise
more easily though through a CCR I recently acquired that has spent many hours down there

I've quite admired listening to your journey

200th dive was today on the Eber Ward wreck in the Straits of Mackinac.

Marie, saw your post and felt compelled to comment. I remember when you first started posting on Scubaboard, when you just started diving. And I've followed many of your posts since. It's been rewarding to witness your (rather rapid!) transition from someone asking a lot of questions to someone gaining the experience to answer questions instead.

As quickly as you've made it to that 200th dive, you must have spent a lot of time observing and learning, asking questions (outside of SB even) and figuring out how everything works. And now you are likely in that position to be someone that advises new divers, to help stoke their enthusiasm for diving.

Just as it's impossible for you to know how many people are reading your posts on SB, it's close to impossible to know how many new divers will observe you and learn from your example. Some might ask you questions directly, but many won't. Either way, keep doing what you're doing and know that while you do, you're having a positive impact on other divers and on scuba diving in general.

Way to go Marie. I remember when you were just interested and starting. I remember the struggles you went through and conquered.
I am also envious of the dives you have made on those wrecks, but I will dive where I don’t need a drysuit.

Thanks. I just got a set but haven't been able to get the gloves mounted yet. Congrats on dive #200!
