I'd have to check my log, and do some math, which before my first :coffee: is unlikely, but I know that I'm finally nearing my 1000th.
I very well might make it on this trip.
 
I was doing the math and if I get in 3 shore dives plus all the boat dives, it will be dive #100 for me.

Hmm, If your 100th dive is supposed to be naked, would your 1,000th dive be naked shooting roman candles out of your butt? I can't really think of any other way to up the ante. Anyone?

Oh, and congratulations on the fireworks.

It is, thins is why I stopped logging so long ago.

Well my experience with the other direction. I didn't log a single dive on paper until the 90s.
I believe that my log book actually started somewhere around dive 75 or a 100, because I didn't do paper log books from the time I certified in 1970 until I was doing a PADI course as an update in the nineties. And we just came up with an estimate of my original because I wasn't a real active diver. Until I discovered warm water.
Once I began logging dives I decided that it was a good way to be able to track information about equipment changes and conditions..
 
The conversations this morning motivated me to dig out a few log books.
Yes, given a bit of good luck and weather, dive 1000 is doable on this trip, if I get in a couple extra shore dives.
Also, my written log book was started in '02, not in the mid 90s as I thought, and the PADI course director I was working with, as a refresher for my 1970 Y Cert, and I, picked a conservative number of 40, for my dive history over the previous 30+ years, since I was an only occasional diver for a great deal of the time (prior to 1995, when I discovered Warm Water!).
Diving the Caribbean sure was a step up from my previous NY, ME and MA, and even Monterrey Bay diving!
I probably have done 1K, but maybe this trip I can make it official.
For everyone's benefit though, we shall skip any naked diving. Trust me on this.
