I switched to steel 120s. Found a pair on Craig's List and am really happy with them. Each one is like an afternoon at 40 fsw.
I got my youngest daughter certified, discovered teenagers can still roll their eyes with disdain in full scuba. Been doing more buddy diving because of it.
Finally getting convinced that my wetsuit is ready for retirement... Well.... maybe.... I keep saying that and decide to get one more season out of it. On the bright side the new pee-hole works really well.

- bought my own scuba gear, switching to BP/W
- hit 100 dives on December 23rd
- 45% of all dives to date done this year
- first time diving Indo - North Raja and a few day dives in Komodo
- added a single strobe to my UW kit and got a better wide wet lens
Goals for 2017:
- strive for at least 20-30 dives / year
- maybe get a second strobe
- rescue diver course at home (In Dutch waters tougher conditions than my regular tropical diving, looks like a fun challenge)

Started Drysuit divign at the beginning of the year. Still have a love hate relationship. Love being warm and dry. Hate the extra faff with buoyancy, being disconnected from the environment and having to carry weight.
Started to professionally guide, which offers a whole different perspective on things...

First cenote dives in which I had my first barotrauma. Occurring on the 2nd of the dives, I was able to surface in a cavernous area for a minute or two and then continue on without further problems (although I did spit blood afterwards.) No more problems on the following dives which were a day later, thank goodness.
