Abriged Two Thousand & Eight

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

With a deepstop crash and a huge data loss, most of my blog entries went missing, I did manage to recover the ones older than the end of April 2008.

Basically the rest of 2008 involved a trip to the Fairweather V

Which was a good fun trip and my last with Cumbernauld Sub Aqua Club.
Dive Boat

A few guddles in the Sea Lochs with Hamilton Sub Aqua, a trip to Bali for Terry and Ely’s wedding with some nice fast drift diving, sea snakes, my first shark, endless searches for the invisible Mola Mola and a wreck dive at Tulamben.

I also had a last minute space on a trip to the Farne Islands on a YD Trip diving with seals.

Over all a pretty good year including passing my PADI OWSI, EFRI and getting a provisional on GUE F (Hopefully going back to pass that in 2009 so I can do CAVE1 in 2010 for my 40th Birthday).

The figures for 2008 are as follows:

48 Dives

32 Drysuit Dives (Scotland & England – My First Quarry)
16 Wetsuit Dives (Mallorca & Bali)

Total of 1996 Minutes
Average Dive 41Minutes

Average Depth 18.5 Metres
Maximum Depth 35 Metres (Kintyre Wreck)

I started my IANTD Advanced Recreational Trimix Training and hope to finish that in the first half of 2009.

That finishes 2008 of with a total of 283 Dives to date, 40 Minute average dive time, 17.5 Metre average depth and total underwater time of: 188 Hours 15 Minutes.

125 Dives in a Drysuit and 158 in a Wetsuit.

In other words I am a big soft warm water diver.
