Is YD suffering Bi Polar disorder?

[Foggy]

I'm getting fed up with posts which are either

"la-di-da here is my view and its all fluffy bunnies and roses" - which prompts an assasins knife fest (you have to have a broad back to take one of these...with plenty of roomfor the knives), or

Backslapping love fests with fanfares of trumpets.

Please someone do some boring mundane runof the mill diving. Lets have some trip reports, simple kit questions, basic polls ...type cr&..thing.

Methinks there is a general lack of wetness at the heart of the problem...

So what diving have you done this year???

I've spent more on kit this year than I have on diving which is never a good sign.

So far manages 12 puddle dives and 8 sea dives. Max sea vis experienced so far this year - about a meter and a half.

Minimum - about 6 inches on a food run. So bad it was funny.

BANG! - "oh look its a big rock"

Hoping for better thing this weekend though.

Well, I did a couple of dives in Belize on New Year's Day. They were a bit average. Nice coral, but not much in the way of fish. Then I got blown out for the next two days by a storm and didn't do the Blue Hole which was annoying.

Then did 12 dives in the Mexican cenotes which were fab.

Then a dive on the Bennedijk in 30cm of viz followed by the Bombardon unit in about 2m. And then I've had a cold for 8 weeks.

Things are so bad, I'm doing Vobster on Sunday.

Have wrote a few trip reports as well as running a trip or 3 this year with more on the way.

53 sea dives (19 in red sea - which i know dont count)

Best scottish viz - 12m+
Worst Scottish - less an a metre, almost diving by brail.

Off to pack kit now for a w/e on skye - hopefully some dives if the wind doesnt pick up.

More time spent kit fettling than diving.
Plans for yesterday and today have been scuppered..

12 dives under ice in northern Russia; 4 puddle dives and 2 in the sea off the south coast (viz about 1m for both of these) 2 other weekends blown out

5 Dives, all in the sea on good wrecks

10 Canned dives this year, all in the sea, 1 due to suit failure while kitting up 16 miles offshore with some cracking viz on offer

I will post my trip reports if you all promise not to accuse me of anything
