What is your Deepest Dive:

[Mark Y]

You 'forgot' HID & back-up lights, stage bottles, SMB, computers, back-up slate.....  ;D

Two more questions:

(1) Was your deepest dive planned or did you just go for it?

I must admit, my first deep dive, at least what I considered deep, was in Cozumel (89 ft.).  I've found it difficult to plan dives in Cozumel (and other dive vacation destinations) as unless you're renting the entire boat, you just go with the flow and dive what the operator tells you to.  So much for planning!  Well, I had just received my training (OW)  and was a bit apprehensive.  Since then, I made it a point to get additional training.  I also plan my dives, especially the deep ones and if we put a limit on the depth, we stick to it.

(2) How deep to you plan to go?

I don't know about any of you, but my original thoughts where, 'I'll never need to go deeper than 60 ft.'  And I suppose I never needed to, but I did.   A trip to Whitefish Point, Michigan, opened the world of Great Lakes shipwreck diving to me.  There I knew the Dolphin SCR wasn't going to cut it.  So in due time and training, I was making deeper dives on the Inspiration.  My goal is to reach the depth limitation of the Inspiration, but not before I'm ready!

Do remember to do some retraining/practice dives this season before you starting reaching into the deep blue (or greyish-black) yonder!
