This list of stuff that is supposed to give you a better life lead me to wonder, would life be any better with all this stuff?? Would all this stuff affect you or make your life better (BTW I don’t mean sell it and use it to pay off your dive gear!!)??

It also lead me to wonder what a diving “Get a Life” package would be (this of course assuming an LDS would give you all that kind of stuff ;) ). Would it look something like this:
1 Dive vehicle – potentially a van or SUV enough to accommodate your gear
1 Custom made shell drysuit (by whatever manufacturer floats your boat, DUI, Bare, Viking etc)
2 Sets of doubles – PST E7/8 series tanks with nice bands and manifolds
1 6cuft argon bottle
2 stage/deco bottles
2 E7-100’s for regular single tank diving
2 BP/Wings set-ups (again choose your manufacturer) – one SS for single tanks with singles wing, one AL for doubles with larger wing
1 year supply of trimix, nitrox, air
1 year boat trip fees
1 annual pass to state parks, and local sites (obviously here that would be the cave country areas)
1 year of training
1 DPV (again whatever brand)
6 sets of regs for various tanks (brand yada yada yada)

Anything else I am missing?? Would that kind of stuff make a difference to you and make your life – at least for a year?? I will be holding the competition in January 2060 if you would like to enter please send me a check for $100 and I will place you in the draw ;)
 
Actually, I found the 52 burritos pretty funny. How's that supposed to improve your life? Clear out your pipes, maybe?
 
Well i was imagining the Smirnof Ice being a bit of a no-no for the health-concious diver.

A nice support team would be good, or how about an entire liveaboard at your personal whim all year?
 
Oh and i forgot, maybe just a personal thing, if they could just pay off my student debts that would be good too!! ;)

Anyone have a personal liveaboard they might want to invite us humble mere mortals on???
 
one fully modified private jet pressurized to 1 atm at all times, with room for 10 dives, their grear, and formentioned surface support team.
 
I don't see how the things in the first list could improve your life. Most of them revolve around being inside. Even the booze, heck you get drunk and need to lay down right? If anything I think it would cause you not to have a life. Your inside all the time. Now the scuba package rocks. I think the best package would be something that you could share with friends. A pool party fully catered, so you can enjoy your friends. A trip with 10 of your closest friends. Then again I am a bit of an extravert so this is stuff I would enjoy.
