Anyone LIVE on a boat?

[LoneWolf]

It is my dream that when I retire from the Army to live on a sailboat, sail around the world VERY slowly, and dive till my heart's content. Are there any board members who are currently living that dream? Do you maintain a compressor on your boat or do you still rent tanks? How often do you actually dive now that you can do it whenever you want? I'm just interested.

Wolf,
I can't answer your questions but I have the same dream. I look forward to hearing the replies.

Just for the duration of the cruze :10:

We did 8 months out of the year for 8 years. We were only 11 miles from home but my other half never saw the house for 5 months.

We crused around the lake and dove almost daily.

We got tired of renting a slip so we just bought one.

We did it for a year. Were able to get fills just about everywhere we went without too much trouble, sometimes a long dingy ride. Actually ended up doing a LOT more snorkling than diving due to costs.

I have a friend that runs a term charter boat and lives on board the boat with his wife. They have their own tanks and a compresser on board. People charter the boat for a week at a time to sail around the Carribean. His wife cooks, they both captain, and he teaches and takes people diving. I don't think he does a lot of diving outside of work, but he works pretty much year round so he is diving pretty much year round.

I live on a boat here in London, but if I tried diving off it I'd probably break my neck - max. depth is about 1-1.5m .

Still, no need for a safety stop on the way up 8^)

It may be difficult to get a lot of responses to this post. If I lived on a boat and were diving every day, I don´t know if I´d have internet access or the time to log on regularly if I did.
