I may be a newb to this site, but not to diving...
Ive cracked the 500+ dives, but have to disagree with the automatic title of 'dive guru'... Every dive i do, i see something, learn something or just appreciate the sport even more.
I don't earn a living from diving, don't work in the industry, and have done it all in 5-6yrs!! Most of my logged dives are just downloaded on the pc, cheers mr Suunto
ut: !!
Its good to look back and see how my avg air consumption has plummeted, along with my bank balance ;-))
As for what counts as a dive? i would say breathing compressed air while u/w, but then i thought about chamber 'dives'...... ;-)
I don't rate anybody by the number of dives they have, Ive dived with 'gurus' who had trouble asembling gear, let alone diving. It's all about confidence, and being keen!
