New Year Diving Resolutions

[El Orans]

What are your diving resolutions for 2009?

Personally, I will

1. do a minimum of 104 dives (2 per week);
2. leave every dive site the way I found it (or cleaner);
3. become as comfortable in my drysuit as I am in my wetsuit;
4. become more experienced in diving tidal waters;
5. refresh my rescue skills;
6. work on my situational awareness to become a better buddy.

So, what are your plans?

I would like to also do 2 dives a week + more when going on liveaboards and on vacation.

I would like to be or be on my way to becoming a Divemaster.

See more things, go more places and have a whole load of fun!

My wife has just gained OW certification end of last year so I look forward to sharing this hobby with her in 2009 and beyond.

Do more local diving, especially off our boat.
Get back to a regular exercise regimen, including doing a bunch of distance swimming while hauling an Al80 (Cave 2 prep).
To further resolution #2, I will not get injured again this year.
Take and pass Cave 2
Take and pass somebody's Tech 1
Manage three trips to Mexico -- probably April, Cave 2, and Thanksgiving again.
That's a pretty good list.

Take a tropical trip this year, hopefully to Cozumel for my first time.
Dive the deep dark cold waters of the local lakes as much as possible, at least one additional trip to Lake Michigan for wrecks, and possibly one to Lake Superior.
Help a few more buddies get tech certified to increase the buddy pool.
Make another Xmas break Florida cave diving trip.

Resolutions:

Get in at LEAST one more dive than 2008 (but I prefer to beat it by leaps and bounds)
Get the dry suit (ordered, pray it fits right) learn to use it!
Be into doubles by the end of the season (or close to it)
Dive the dang Speigel Grove!! (didn't work out this years trip)
Dive the Vandenberg (if it gets sunk)
Dive with Walter again! (hahaha)
Take some more courses (Rescue, Advanced Nitrox)
