Funny fact: there was a large group of English divers at the lake!

No, not all frsh water, I do dive on holiday too!
And I'm sorry to say that it's not mine, it just happened to be in one of the communal Jeeps as I took the pic ;)

Soon enough you will notice that your dives are adding up... and you get your next level of certification... and look at your gear and think 'hmm, I really need to upgrade this' ... and all of a sudden you have three-digit numbers of dives...

The reading material on the deco stops is awesome! And very smart. Last deep dive I did, the master/guide had a magnadoodle with him to play games ;) But I've thought of sticking a cheap paperback in my pocket before...I've heard of other divers doing that (as long as you're not ripping and tearing at the pages, and don't mess with it on the surface while it dries, it'll hold up for a little while).
I'm still around 40 something dives (lack of time off work is usually my excuse, that and a lack of dive buddy). But I would love to get up to a number like that someday! You rock!!
