Mostly local diving (socially distanced, mostly cool/cold water diving in lakes, a bit of camping thrown in), may do a trip to Cozumel, and tentatively hoping to do a trip to Japan if things open up but that's probably going to be a 2022 trip.
 
Same as usual. Spring & Fall the same old shore sites here in Nova Scotia (and my usual bi-weekly frigid winter wetsuit dive). Hopefully my usual 7 weeks in NYC area (CT/NY shore dives) mid-summer (unlike in 2020). Need 3 things-- get vaccinated, have my summer concert gig series to go (unlike 2020), and the border to open. I'm not too optimistic.
 
Only local diving for me.
I will wait until the situation gets better, because i strongly believe, that traveling is luxus we should not do atm.

If the situation allows it, i might go on some short trips. But probably not 2021
 
No flying, no travelling, no boat diving, occasional shore dives until positivity rates and ICU capacity is essentially normal and vaccination rates are high enough that community spread is unlikely.
 
My main dive buddy is also my housemate. We're doing local dives about once a month, down from about 3x that in 2019.

My February 2020 trip worked out, but my April 2020 one was cancelled. I have not made any plans for future trips, and won't be until the world looks very different from how it does now. Which, in all likelihood will be about a year, but we'll see what happens.
 
Diving within New South Wales, at the moment we are not even permitted to go into any other state in Australia. I can see this situation cropping up all through the year, well at least the first 6-8 months till vaccine levels reach high enough to limit new cases. Won't worry me too much, we have brilliant diving here in Sydney and also in other places within the state. Already have a few week long trips planned.
 
Local(ish) diving for me again this year unless Oman opens its borders then perhaps some trips to Musandam or the Damaniyats as no flying involved.

Once I have been vaccinated (currently on a waitlist for the Pfizer one) I'll be considering flying somewhere.

The Maldives is currently available, but the daily positive test numbers here in Dubai have just jumped from 1,000 per day to almost 3,000 in the last 24 hours thanks to Christmas / NY socialising, quite possible, but not proven, to the extended families of Brit ex-pats coming to Dubai for the festive season.
 
coz in two weeks, AKR in April.

I'm just not licking as much stuff as I usually do as a precaution.
