Local 50-degree kelp forest diver with all my gear, tanks and weights for tiny sidemount and AL40 doubles. Lately, it has only been once every few weekends. Mostly solo though also with friends. Also a wing and a few plates and harnesses for single tank but no tanks for that. I dragged my full backmount rig to Belize when I went. I do think being in a more southern realm where you only need a 7mm full suit or less would be nice, or maybe just getting a dry suit. A desire for lighter luggage for warm vacation diving partially motivated the move to sidemount.
I cover a bit of ground underwater but often hover level over or next to some spot just looking at invertebrates or watching fish. I had fun assisting with several scientific dive classes and briefly being a scientific diver, but I'm unlikely to work as a dive pro so didn't finish my DM training. Post-covid, I'll go down to Florida or Mexico for cavern training and the Cenotes. Diving at the raged edge of DCS is not an appeal, but a rebreather and drysuit are appealing as ways to look at the pretty fish longer. Warm clear tropical diving, a good meal and a stroll or chair in the sun or shade after is nice as well.
