Scuba goals 2011

In January, I wrote an entry about my goals in diving for this year. Now that it's almost halfway into the year, I'd like to share with you how I am doing so far.

The list I made back then was:

• Pass the rescue diver course
• Aim for 100 total dives
• Dive in more demanding spots
• Dive in Portugal and Egypt
• Become a divemaster

So, how am I doing?

In April I have started the Rescue Diver Course and I am proud to say that I passed the course. Theory and practice dives went well, but the scenario's were much more demanding. It took a lot from me and my two fellow students but it was worth it.

Well I wanted to double my total dives this year at least and preferably aim for 100 total dives. I can say that I am well away with that. Starting the year with 45 dives in total I am now at 83. So I am 7 dives away from doubling up and it is only June.
Diving abroad was a mixed success. During my time in Portugal, the weather was awful so no diving was possible. However, Egypt was great. I also dove some more demanding sites there with stronger currents and a wreck. So I caught two flies in one stone there.

And for the divemaster part. I will go there, but I'm not sure when exactly.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.... And enjoy some highlights of my dive trip to Egypt.

Dive safe and have fun,
