My diving history
I got into diving about 3 years ago for 2 reasons always dream to and the very grounded practical reason - i wanted to be able to clean my 28 ft sailboat bottom, change zincs (i haul out my sailboat ones in 2 years) and inspect my mooring anchors by myself.
I did about 20 dives in this 3 years. All dives are shallow usually 20-35 ft for mooring inspection and chains change. This year already did two moorings for the club mooring operator, and inspected my own gear. This kind of diving is kind of difficult because the visibility is 0, and I have to work there for an hour, 30 minutes on each leg. The water temperature was 55 F last time I dived.
All this is in Sheep's Head Bay, Brooklyn. I did get out couple of times further to the Far Rockaway area on my sailboat and dived from the inflatable (freeboard on sailboat is too big), but the was nothing interesting there, and visability is poor.
My gear: Mares V12 + Orbiter, Mares Proton octopus, Scubapro Mini 2 Gauge with compass, Dacor Falcon BC, Suunto Viper computer, 7mm Henderson Gold Core 2 pcs., and misc equipment knifes, fins, etc - all came from LP besides Mares V12 + Orbiter.
Now I am getting ready for trip to Aruba to do some wreck diving and Advances OWC. Anybody wants to join me? Direct flight from LaGuardia + Hotel ~$980 for one, ~$1300 for two. If alone and really interested you can share the room with me and we both save some money. I am going on June 10-17. Go to Aruba.com - book now - packages.
