H-day is approaching...

January 15th is when I'm leaving for Honduras. My previous trip there was only a year ago, but so much has changed since:

• I think my idea of diving, what it means to me and how it impacts people around me has matured. 
• I don't consider myself a good diver (yet), but I do think of myself an attentive diver. I am extremely serious about it and I prefer the same degree of attention from people I dive with. 
• I prefer to dive with people I can learn from.
• I have clearer idea of where my diving skills should improve.
• I had a chance to meet and "splash" with awesome divers.
• And one of the most important and the least understood phenomenons of this year is that Zhenya actually supports me in this "madness". I know that many of her friends do not understand my diving and consider it stupid and immature thing to do for a father of two. But Zhenya does not succumb...

I don't often have a chance to talk about diving, and I LOVE talking about it; technical stuff, new places and sites, old places and site, things that can be done, things that shouldn't be done... Let this post begin a new blog where I could vent all this. I hope it will become a dialog at some point. But for now I'll settle for being a voice in the wilderness :)
