And the Ironman award goes to...

[Halthron]

Spoon, Chip and Iris (We expect her fanbase to go up now) for completing 10 dives in 11 hours! Each dive, at least the ones I participated in were at least 20 feet for 20 minutes (most for longer time and the later ones all were to stay less than 30 feet) and took place all over the Dive & Trek house reef as well as the surrounding area. These weren't "rack up the count" dives, each dive is something a vacationer would like to do.

Kudos for being in such good shape!

If we do that again, I'm getting a room so I can participate in all of them, there's no way I could do 10 then handle the drive back and I'm glad I didn't risk it.

actually for the dive to count the the minimum time is 30 mins and the depth should be deeper than 25 feet. all our dives fit the criteria. latter dives were tough as i wasnt used to the repeated exposure to 80f water. also enjoyed the cave and the underwater corridor we found. was quite hesitant to enter with one light. will have pics soon. plan your dive, dive your plan we were delayed towards dive 9 and ten as iris sta wingnut cam eloose and chip had to improvise ala mcgyver. all in all a good day. i think i was more tired by donning the doubles and carrying em.

im sure you wil attest that the traffic was even worse than the diving. we were stuck close to 2 hours! the award should really go to iris. she held the course, props to her. Her market value just skyrocketed

10 dives in one day.....sheesh. I thought I was tough when I did 4 in one day. Now I look like such a wuss.
