Time to add something other than shore diving in 20' of water to the skill set. There is a lot of diving you can experience. Unfortunately diving is not an inexpensive hobby. Shore diving is cheap but limited.
You should be doing the Keys/FL Coast off a boat as often as you can afford, at least 4 times a year. You could also take a trip to cave country and do some freshwater diving. Drift diving anywhere on the FL coast is something you should experience. You are young. Enjoy what you can afford, but make some plans on diving something beyond the shore as that is the tip.
Boat dives are $65 without tanks. So cheaper than rec drug use! :cool2:
I know a few people with boats, hopefully we will go out as time passes.
Time will tell.
Maybe ill seek a tech instructor of some sort to give me an assessment, afterall, at a recreational level, why such need for perfection? (<- is the thought of most rec divers **Not proportionately displayed on this board** [which is made up mostly of die hards IMO] )
To date I've done 3 boat dives, on two separate occasions. Like I said, I have some friends with boats, so it is totally at their discretion if we dive or not. One boat dive was canceled today, and one was canceled thursday.
I did do a shore dive in some mildly moderate surf today (The same surf that canceled the my boat dive today- and another boat dive earlier in the day)
But the surge was fun, especially when trying to catch lobsters.
I was thinking, "Damn, why's the coral keep moving?....Oh wait...."
It was also fun swimming out there

Is this the sign ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ of a madman?
