[DiverBeth]

I talk about some of the cool things I've seen such as a whale shark or a nudi.

I get a sense of accomplishment by doing shore dives to locations where most people dive from a boat. But even funner is the long cave dives; deep, deeeeeep into the cave. Yeeeee haw.

My beautiful, smart, talented daughter in college (I must be unbearable to be around!).

Furthest penetration ..diving?

 

[rrjc5488]

I usually brag about how many times I've been bent. That does get old after a while, I then I move on to how fast I've made it to the surface.

The accomplishments that I am most happy about are those of my students. Especially the new OW's during their certification dives. Seeing them dive like they have done it for quite awhile is a real treat for me. Theres nothing like spending 45 to 60 minutes watching a student on their very first dive exploring the UW realm.

The longest, deepest, coldest, strongest current, lowest visibility, my beautiful dive buddy's 100th dive (you know how #100 is supposed to be done!), my beautiful dive buddies, all the famous people I've dived with, all the newbies I've rescued (even if their boyfriends didn't want her to be rescued), my equipment (especially my tattered wetsuit with about 600 dives on it), my SAC rate, the power in my German legs, the number of different species I film on a dive, the dive with the greatest number of close shark encounters...

Brag? What's there to brag about? I think the best thing about chatting with other divers is to try to give them some new piece of information (in my case about marine life) that will enhance THEIR diving experience.
