Summary & celebrations from diving in 2007
I started 2007 underwater on my hundred and second dive in the Red Sea.
My first dive that started in 2007 was on the Carnatic with my now friends Dolly & Zoe.
I finished 2007 diving in Corralejo, Fuerteventura, with 235 dives logged (155 hours and 54 minutes).
So in 2007 I logged up 133 dives, I went to Mallorca to do my PADI DM Internship with Scuba Med. I also did a Red Sea live aboard in August, done two dives in Fuertaventura and even managed some UK dives out in the sound of Mull, The Clyde and the Scottish Sea Lochs.
I managed my longest & Deepest dives.
Deepest: Dive 216 Rosalie Moller Engine room 44.8 Metres
Longest: Dive 217 Stern, deck and bow of the Rosalie Moller with a runtime of 123 minutes of which around 90 minutes was spent hanging at 6 metres doing Deco.
I took lots of people under the sea for their first ever scuba experience working as a DM doing Discover Scuba Programmes in Mallorca & I made new friends.
on the way to getting my DM Cert I also got my PADI Rescue Diver Cert, PADI Deep Certification, my EFR Qualification & my PADI Equipment Specialist certification.
Not a bad year of diving at all.
The one thing I didn’t manage to do was my GUE Fundamentals course due to lack of funds, however I will do it in 2008!
