I'd be interested to continue with this poll to see how much we dive and how we actually dive.

There is no way to really get a great demographic from a limited poll but we can guess that if you dive a lot your dives are more varied otherwise you would get bored and wouldn't dive that much.

In any event this is not about what certificates you have. Pick the choice that covers most of your diving. If you are an instructor but most of your dives are pleasure dives then don't pick instructional diving. The same goes with tech divers. If most of your dives don't involve 30 minutes or more of deco and overhead enviroments then don't pick technical diving.

I'm trying to make this so there is no distinction between a rec diver going a little deep and doing a little deco and a tech diver not going into an overhead environment or doing long deco. In essence for this poll it's the same type of diving/diver.

If someone wants to start another poll regarding certifications go for it.
 
I do 250-350 dives a year with about 80% of them local. I'm a diving biologist rather than a real dive pro, but almost every dive is work-related for me (my work is fun).

You're not a bad writer either :) I enjoyed your GW cage dive article.
