do more scuba diving

I need to start planning my travels more around scuba diving if I want to actually go again before I leave. I’ve definitely set aside like 5 days to go to an island in Thailand to just relax and do couple of dives. Hopefully I can try to go diving at least once in Indonesia but I really want to focus on learning how to surf in Bali. But since I’ll basically have no opportunity back home to do it, I better get on it now!

I just got my PADI a month or so ago and I’m currently in Thailand so I have no reason not to dive more…

So, I’ve decided I should quantify this so that I know exactly when I’ve achieved my goal, otherwise it will always remain 2 steps in front of me.

So, I’m going to say that I’ve achieved this goal if I do 10 logged dives by the end of 2007.

It does sound like a long way away, but considering it’ll soon be too hot in Dubai to scuba dive (like swimming in a hot bath) and the fact that I travel so much for work I often end up spending my weekends in offices and in airports/on airplanes, I am not even sure if I’m going to manage the 10 dives by the end of the year!

But I’ll try my best.

I’ve been delaying this because I don’t have a dive buddy. In fact, I’ve never had a dive buddy and I’m fed up of being paired up with a novice stranger or the instructor. One of these days it would be nice to have a buddy who is someone who I KNOW and TRUST. I have to stop making excuses though and just get back in the water.
