I finally gave up the game of golf, hell, I left it in the dust! And I re-kindled my love for diving that I sorta lost interest in back in 2002 due to being busy with school and finding a job and settling into my career.
1. Got new regulator, octo, wetsuit, Sealife DC1000 Elite camera kit, and a load of other fun and useful items.
2. I joined my local dive club and made some new friends and hooked up with a few old friends.
3. **I got to do my first liveaboard on the Kona Aggressor II in August!**
4. As a bonus I got to go on a business trip to Tampa, Florida (a week before my Kona trip) and I met up with a buddy of mine and we dove Key Largo for the weekend - thank goodness I did this otherwise I wouldn't have realized my strobe needed fixing until I went to Kona!
5. I got my digital underwater specialty while on the Aggressor.
6. I also took a family trip up to Whidbey Island, WA and while there I got my drysuit specialty - even though I live in Hawaii I REALLY dig the Puget Sound area, I can't wait to go back - you guys have got some AWESOME diving up there.
2010 goals:
1. Get my Nitrox specialty
2. Get my Rescue Diver Specialty
3. Apr 23-May 3, Star Dancer, Papua New Guinea - it's gonna rock! Might try to get my underwater naturalist specialty while on board - not sure yet.
4. Try to get my wreck specialty with my local dive club - if I do all the above classes I'll have my Master Scuba Diver rating.
5. Reserve and pay for my January 2011 trip on the Palau Aggressor II
Heck, I'm already looking at dive trips for 2011! Palau for sure and the Galapagos Islands I think!
I love this thread!
