um, have you ever been to eastern europe over christmas and new years? not a good situation. and yes, i do dive not every other weekend, but every weekend: cold and dark. it's now a time and money issue, so having to give up an opportunity to go dive where it's warm and bright; can you see my dilema? and no, most cruises aren't going to cut it; we're both athletes and a cruise would make us both go bonkers... that and the fact that the diving associated with most of those cruises usually sucks unless you're into the usual tourist stuff...
