Alright, time for a headcount. Who is certified, and where was your last trip?

I haven't been in the water for over a year now, and it is starting to get to me. My brain dries out and I don't think straight.

My last trip was cave diving in north Florida. Man I love that crystal clear water! Last open water was to Taveuni, Fiji. That may be my next, as well.

Ni sa bula!

Been too long, I've lost the fitness required as well.

Last dive I did was a 25m night dive off the coast here on one of our many reefs, it was pretty fantastic - lots of very sleepy fish etc.

These days it's hard to find the time or buddy and I don't think my wetsuit fits me anymore

I really want to finish my certification. I did all the classroom stuff and all the closed water stuff a couple of summers ago, but I never got around to doing the open water cert dive -- tends to happen when you live in Kansas City. ...

I got certified my freshman year here at my school. Last winter I went to the Florida Keys, and did like 12 dives there. The best was on a Coast Guard Cutter that was in some pretty deep water. It was mainly cool cause I had never been that deep before, and it was also my first "wreck" dive....if you can call it that.

Got certified 6 years ago in Nevis. Have dived Belize, Anguilla and lots of Southern California locales. Sadly, with the birth of my son, my wife and I have stopped diving. We hope to resume when he gets a little older.

God, I love it down there.

Got certified in Hawaii (closed water? We don't need no friggin' closed water!), done some diving up here in Seattle for drysuit/deep/boat (part of Advanced) certification... still have to do the night dive tho.

I'm set for a 2 tank dive on Friday morning just off of Northwest Point, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, BWI, about a mile down the road from my house! This is very near to the Turtle Farm, so I'm hoping to catch some incoming / outgoing traffic during the shallow dive.
