Profile Info

Its nice that we can see some profile info next to peoples posts, but a couple more bits of information would be nice, such as
# of dives
and # of years diving.

For example,
did you know that acelockco has been diving for 18 years? I just saw that on his profile, but how many dives does he have? If acelockco and I disagree on some aspect of diving, if I were you, I would side with acelockco, I have 27 dives in one year, he has many more. It would be helpful to know that when reading posts.

just a thought....

Thanks, I appriciate the good words. Let me say that even though I know a pretty good amount, and I feel I even know more than I actually do, the fact is that I probablly don't know as much as I think I do.

Now, with that being said, I feel OLD. LOL

well, I just meant that STATISTICALLY......

I know what you were saying dude.

You do have a good number of dives under your belt for only diving for about a year.

We try to go out at least once a week for two dives, so they DO add up!


This past weekend was a wash, and now THIS weekend we are getting new zincs, transducer and a paint touch up, so we MIGHT miss this weekend too, but we might just squeeze in.

We are in Beverly MA, if you want to come dive with us, we always have good food! And beers (after the dive of course.... )

I don't care how many dives you have, if you can contribute to the discussion at hand all the better. I know far to many divers with large #'s that believe that by shear number of dives make a better knowledgable diver. I may be on the wrong side of this but some of the people I dive with are instructors, so if I have a question I feel I am not getting the best answer to, I ask them. Then bring it back to the board. It is surprising to find that most times the answer was there, just not worded correctly.

If it helps, I have 200 + dives, mostly fresh water dives and I have been diving for 8 years.

Wow, I may take you up on that. You are about 6-1/2 hours away from here, but I was going to try to get to Maine sometime to do some diving. I could make a cool trip out of the deal. Head up the coast, stop in MA, then continue up to Maine, then drive back over to the Great Lakes, then back home.

I don't know when I will find the time, but I will let you know when I know.
