Curse you Scubaboard!!!

[rubixcube]

Curse you, curse you all!!! :redhot: I'm a new diver and a new member of the board. One thing I noticed early on was frequent mentions of a certain Jacques Cousteau. Intrigued I investigated and was rewarded with tantalizing articles and video clips.

Today I decided to finally jump in and rented a digital copy of Journey to the End of the World. And ya know what? It was absolutely amazing! There was drama and suspense! Of course there was also some breathtaking dives including one particularly amazing dive into an iceberg (is it an ice dive or a cave dive, perhaps both ).

So why am I cursing you? Well as it turns out very little of Cousteau's work has been released in the US. So now not only do I have to pay large amounts of money to dive, I also have to shell out large amounts of money to import foreign copies! Now I'm gonna be even more broke than I was before :redhot:! So once again curse you!!!!!!!!

Damnit, you're right!!! This board has exposed me all sorts of shiny new toys, crack dealers, and people that go over the top to put you in fabulous gear! :cussing:

Think I'll go say Thank You in the Legal Defense Fund.

No one ever said that this was an inexpensive addiction.

Yeah, JC was awesome in his day, but there are much better things out there today. Science and technology has brought us so much more than he could have way back then.

Get yourself a Blu-ray player and some new videos...might even be cheaper to!

I've been quite lucky with cost so far, my class and most of my gear have been payed for by my parents. Including the nitrox course I'm taking tonight I'll only have spent about $100 all together (which is still a fair bit for a teen without a job yet). I suppose I'll spend far more than over the course of my diving career . Perhaps I'll try to spend some of that extra money on Scubaboard when I'm less broke, Y'know just to brag about how I've spent on Scuba .
