OW in '03
Cave in '07 through NACD and TDI and I think I was a little shy of 600 dives when I passed Full Cave(that includes 150+ cavern/intro/appr dives). I've got ~120 Full Cave Dives and have dived in over 40 cave/cavern systems now(all in FL). I dive sidemount all the time now, but did my training in backmount.

I don't have certifications for stages, sidemount, or DPV... nor do I have certifications for boat diving, night diving, or underwater photography :)
 
Interwebs, its all there! ZOMG! :D





Good friends brotha!
 
OW certified SDI 8/2008
AN/DP certified TDI 11/2009
Cavern certified TDI 12/2009 (had around 170 dives)

I'm still very much a rookie in the overhead diving world and scheduling to do Intro with Kenny P. in April or May. I've dove three systems in Florida (cavern only ) and one cenote system in Mexico.

Doing the overhead training in backmount 104s and also diving sidemount 95s and 130s. Got a Cuda X-scooter that's been 4000' back in JB but someone else was driving it.
 
I was certified as a cavern diver with NSS-CDS in 1988 and Full Cave with NACD in 1998, but I don't do much cave diving. I am a dedicated wreck diver.

OW Certified June, 2005 and had no desire to see the inside of a cave.

Went to Coz April, 2007 and did a Cenote tour with Danny R. on dive #204.

Did Cavern/Intro with German Yanez, TDI, Oct., 2007 on dive #282.

Did Full Cave with German, TDI, May, 2008 on dive #390 (33 intro dives in Florida and Mexico -- actually didn't start out to do Full Cave, just take some lessons and it evolved into a Full Cave class)

Haven't counted how many different systems.
 
OW certified in 2005. Started to plan a course to cave diving that October.

Cavern/Intro in 10/2007 with about 400 dives, and GUE Cave 1 in May of 2008 with about 500 dives. Attempted GUE Cave 2 in August of 2009 and didn't pass; did NACD Full Cave in November of 2009 with about 800 dives. I have 105 non-training cave dives, 16 since Full Cave.
