2003: Dive Goals/Season review - chrisw - 12-16-2003 How I did on last years goals: 1) dive, at least, once every month in 2003 I missed 3 months due to illness 2) take AOW cert took and passed AOW cert 3) dive sea caves and a couple of wrecks in the Apostle Islands didnt do these but i learned i needed cave cert and i dove Madeira and Hesper in Lake Superior 4) take drysuit cert took and passed drysuit cert 5) try freediving (yes, Fred, a chance at a convert!) wussed out Although I didnt complete 3 out of 5 I did manage some other things: * dpv cert (you MUST try one of these babies) * wreck cert (i love reels. NOT) * medic/first aid cert * rescue cert (man, its hard work) * 60 dives * Wazee, Crosby pits, Lake Superior wreck dives * incredible moonlight dives * switched to bp/wing set up * met lots of great buddies! yeeha! check your 2003 mnscuba goals at: Re:2003: Dive Goals/Season review - tcjtn0 - 12-16-2003 Since Chrisw started this I have to tag along!!! Reviewing my 2003 goals: 1) Get a drysuit...(About time for one) Got that done...A used one but it works just fine and I don't need any help zipping it up either (A 905 jab...Can't resist! ) 2) Rescue Diver and start DiveMaster Did that too! Rescue was the most rewarding class to date and I loved it alot! But I think I will enjoy DiveMaster much more (at least so far I have) 3) Dive at least 2-3 times a week Over 100 logged dives from Feb thru November. 4) Meet new *AND* old divers from the list. Thanks to all my "buddies" this year and hope to keep diving with you next year! 5) Be the bestest and safest I can be , every dive !!! Now this one might be a bit more difficult because of my Superior rock climbing adventures and other too numerous idiotic things I did this year... But all in all , 4 out of 5 isn't all that bad!!! Jean ;D P.S. And of course , my special thanks to Richard , Darin and the rest of the insane asylum for making my Wednesday night just so darn interesting this summer! Lets do it again next year! ;D Goal Review - Chris - 12-16-2003 1. See a Northern Pike or Musky Did this, granted at the Mall of America 2. Feed the fish Same as above 3. Improve on my skills (obviously) Mmmm, doubt I accomplished much here 4. Dive more Dove less 5. Meet more people from the site Did this Re:2003: Dive Goals/Season review - LKunze - 12-16-2003 *Dive at least one day a week Didn't quite make that one. I took a few weeks off. *Get in a diving/camping weekend trip once a month Got this one, did more than one a month a couple times I think. *Dive Lake Superior a couple times I got to Lake Superior twice this year on a couple nice camping trips and got in about 10 dives. *Gain more experience diving my drysuit Dove dry the whole season. No going back to the wetsuit now...dry is the way. *Break the 100 dives mark Broke 100 dives in July. *Don't spend anymore money on gear this year (fills only) Failed miserably on this one. I better follow through on this one this year. : Re:2003: Dive Goals/Season review - Chris - 12-17-2003 Yeah, but you look cool! Re:2003: Dive Goals/Season review - Dirt - 12-17-2003 Yea Jean, I guess that is an advantage to having your suit over a 905. By the way, where is that suit of your right now anyway? Oh, that's right, it's in our shop getting repaired. (Sorry dude) D Re:2003: Dive Goals/Season review - LKunze - 12-17-2003 Yeah, but you look cool! [/quote] Gee...thanks man! LOL!
