What happened to all the inspiring trip reports?

[ScubaFeenD]

I think some people might agree with me when I say that trip reports, when inclusive of things that go wrong and how they are dealt with, are a great way to entertain and spur useful discussion about how to deal with problems, discover possible common problems, and learn from others experience. Perhaps, if posted in DIR practitioners forum there would be more friendly debriefing type discussion and less vitriolic discussion

Thanks for the kick in the butt, Kathy!

And thanks for bringing back many happy memories of my Sept NC dive trip with Tim as my buddy. I still get a BIG smile on my face when I think of our descent into the school of sand tiger sharks on the Spar....thrilling!!!

Thanks for the kick in the butt . . .

Appears that a little friendly nudge is sufficient !!

Likewise! It was a great dive/trip. Certainly one i will try to emulate in the future.

Also, as I was rereading my trip report there were descriptions that make me think I was high on LSD, but dont recall ever doing any. Crazy adjective streams.

You were narc'd......or we can always blame the sharks.

If I am able to post the report, it was a good dive.

I haven't written up too many lately, but those I have were mostly posted in the SoCal and SoCal DIR forums:

Thanks Chris!

That's a lot of trip reports! I hope you do some DIR writeups of your adventures and post to this forum!
