Candace and I just got back from a week on Oahu hanging out on the beach and diving with her fam and some freinds. We've now done ~12 dives and I'm honestly a bit burned out with it after 6 dives this last week.
So whats the secret? So far we are into our equipment about $300 each (mask, snorkel, fins, boots, gloves) and I can't honestly see myself wanting to go enough to warrant $2k in BC, regs, computer, etc... especially when we can rent for $60 for a week (and all of our chartered dives were the same price, with or without gear).
We did do some great dives, a couple of wrecks including a WWII Corsair plane ~100ft, and some great cave and reef diving... Its an expensive sport! I could go to Moab for a week just on the dive charges, that doesn't include getting to the destination.
So, who dives, how long, still go often? Own/rent??
