How do you finance your Addiction??

[Lock Down]

I'll add this to my last post in this thread, over this last week I found a grand total of 93 cents. The way I figure it is that in 14 1/2 years I will be able to buy a new regulator. !!!*SWEET*!!!

I bought 90% of my equipment when I was layed off from Mpix ( www.mpix.com )

Sad thing is, my new job as a "Online Specialist / Business Unit Technologist ( translation..programmer/tech)" at my local newspaper. I make more money, but can't afford to buy more gear

I do enjoy the job though, and don't have to work mad overtime, and have weekends off

I'm a retired School teacher, 12 years now, who lives off a fairly good pension; however, I finance my scuba addiction through portrait photography (standard stuff) and a whole range of corporate and consumer video production services. I also have some rental property that helps out (when the tenants meet their financial obligations and don't trash the place when they leave)

collision repair tech.,and thanks to all the great drivers out there it's a job that would keep me covered in tons of extra cash ,cash for dive trips,cash for gear,cash for wine,women and song but my beautiful,loving wife thinks that the new carpet,some matching dinner ware,grass on the lawn and curtains are important! Funny thing is I did'nt have curtains when she met me!

I'm a "Navy Wife" at least for 90 more days, then I get my B.S. in Marine Biology and hopefully will have two papers on the way to publication. One on The Intraspacific Agression of the Anemone Metridium senile as a Method for Sexual Selection, the other on the Affects of Birth Control Hormones on Algal Growth and Development. We'll see how it goes though, I tend to take on too much. As for now I am getting through my last quarter, studying for the GRE, and looking at Grad Schools.

Fire Lieutenant - 25 years FDNY - Best job on the planet. Unlimited mutual exchange of tour, which means I work for you now and you work for me while I'm away diving. Greatest invention ever.

The bride is one of the people in charge of drinking water quality for NYC. Good money but very big responsibility.

Someday soon we'll retire and just dive, God willing.

I am a certified water specialist with specialties in Pharmecutical usp 27 water. I am also the R&D lead for Shellicam www.shellicam.com The pharma job pays great, the shellicam job is fun! Trying to break underwater video housings is a blast. I missed an opportunity a couple weeks ago to shoot one with a 12 gauge shotgun. We may do that next weekend, after a slingshot launch into the ocean. We are also going to drop a running camera off the end of the Huntington Beach pier in a few weeks. We are always looking for fun video ideas, so any suggestions are always appreciated.
