    My dive log was a mess until I started approaching my Abe. So I put a concerted effort into resurrecting my memories, plus contacting buddies from lost dives. I know I did dives that aren't logged, but if I couldn't specifically remember them, I know they're lost forever.

    Now I'm a little more obsessive about my dives and it was pretty easy to count up the dives. Here's my weird list of cave dives that meet the requirements:
    1993: 1
    1994: 5
    1996: 1
    2004: 12
    2005: 1
    2006: 15
    2007: 10
    2008: 21
    2009: 37
    2010: 64

    I'm a scientist. I'm trained to be able to make these analyses. There is a distinct trend in the numbers!

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    <snip>... I also found a farmer with excellent hay just south of Trenton so I can drop off the trailer in the morning and pick it up on the way back through. Since the trailer only holds two bales I have to do it at least once a month. <snip>.
    Perhaps you need a smaller trailer
    Congrats.
    I am at 60 in the cave. Combining Tmx and Great Lakes wrecks has put too many choices in front of me.

    So let me be the A hole of the day.

    When I started my family, I gave them all my time: no diving on weekends or any other time. I was with them.

    The vis was incredible and the walls were much whiter than the last time I was there.

    Absolutely incredible dive.
    Congrats. Way to go.

    Does anyone know the rationale for limiting them to dives after full cave?

    I believe that this is to make sure that your dives are of sufficient complexity to perfect all of the skills that you were taught at all levels of your cave training.
