Kisko 1.7.2012
Today we where @ Kisko near Salo diving. I did only one dive 24 min and the max depth @ 20 m. The visibility was pretty poor but I would say 2-3 meters. No matter that I only did one dive I had a blast waiting for the others with Rami. Like you all know I'm not the greatest writer so I like to post pics instead. So here's some pics from today.
The pictures where taken by my wife Maria.

I kicked of the season by staing indoors, I have been with Tero (my instructor) to Flamingo "helping" him and learning how to teache Discover scuba diving, or like we call it Introduction to scuba diving, or Intro
My personal goal is to be a Assistant Instructor or AI. I still have a way to go but baby steps, baby steps.
So my timetable for this year has been:
12.4.2012:
Spa&Wellness Flamingo, Vantaa (a discover scuba course)
6.5.2012:
Porvoo Uimahalli (Public swimming pool in Porvoo) Where my frind Åke did his intro to diving.
12-13.5.2012
Kaatiala louhos, Kuortane (a old quarry i Kuortane, very popular with the finnish divers, the pics that I'll upload sre from this quarry.)
20.5.2012
Test diving a long the 120-road from Helsinki to Vihti, there is a couple of places you can acces the water but not recommended. It´s old 1-1,5 meters shallow.
16.6.2012
My RD course. We did the Rescue Diver course confined water @ Flamingo, Vantaa and from there we drove to Vessö, Porvoo and did the open water part of the course. What a day that was. A hole course in one day, luckely we did the theory couple of weeks ago.
The next dives (not yet planed) will be just to dive, no courses for the moment. Just relaxing dives.
And get my dive count to 50 dives, so I can participate in the Divemaster course, hopefully in the end of this sesaon.

Hi everybody!
I've bee a bit lazy during the winter and I must admit that I had forgotten my own blog.
Well that's going to change, from now to the end of this dive season I will try to write of everydive.
I started this season with my first icedive on Feb 26th 2012, the dive it self was only 7 min but pure gold, or should I say ice. The air temperatyre was +2C and @ 10,2 m the water was +1C.
For all you sceptics, these pics were taken with my Iphone 4 @ -10C, so it realy works at below zero. :)

Dive summary to date
Dive summary to date is 22 dives and 788 minutes. My goal for this year is 1000 minutes. It shouldn´t be impossible, there are at least 4-5 divestrips left in the calender. Every trip is at least 2-3 dives and one cylinder of air is good for about 40-50 minutes @ my current consumtionrate.
