Just over a year ago, I posted my first thread about how I'd just started diving and was hooked.

Well, yesterday, I did my 50th dive and I'm even more in love with the sport.

I have been fortunate enough to dive at Truk Lagoon amongst the WW2 wrecks. I live 30 mins drive from some of the best dive sites in Australia, here in Port Philip Bay.

My spare room has become a store room for wetsuits, tubs, dive equipment and soon tanks. My spare time is spent doing courses, nex week it's Advanced Nitrox & Decompression, April is Stress & Rescue.

Instead of reading what my horoscope is for the day, I now look up tide tables and wave patterns.

In July I head off with my dive club to Vanuatu and really looking forward to diving the President Coolidge. Next year it Papua New Guinea as well as heading back to Truk and possibly visit Palau or Yap.

With the amount of diving I have planned for the next 6 months, hopefully, I may make my 100th dive at Vanuatu. Although the water drops from a lovely 21 degrees C to about 15 C during the winter months here. Well, there's always a drysuit :-)

But if I don't make 100 in July, then I could well achieve it when I head out to California for 3 months from August.

Thanks for all the good support and information you have all posted on here.
