I think diving is one of the cheapest sports you can be involved in, especialy compared to something like golf. You can start out buying good used gear & for the few dollars it costs to fill you air tank, you are in business. No greens fees!
Scuba is for the impoverished like me. CCR's are for the wealthy.

yeah, just like cheerleading is a sport....(?)

Oh, did I say that out-loud??
How awkward...
evad:
Rule of thumb: If you can smoke and drink beer while you're doing it, it's not a sport.
When I think of a Rich mans sport, I think of Polo, Sailing, and yes even golf.
The dive shop near me put the cost of scuba equipment in terms I understand.
"How much did you pay for your Driver , 3 Wood and 5 Wood and Iron's ?" he asks.
Well I can get a new set of diving gear for the same amount I spent on golf clubs.
I can go on a 2 tank dive for the cost of a round of golf, and I will not loose any golf balls during a dive, so there is an extra $10.00 to spend on the air.

Maybe that just means you spent too much on your golf clubs!

its HOUSEHOLD income... we saw in the other thread a lot of scuba divers on this board are older (well, 30s at least), so they're probably married and well established in a career. Put two established career incomes like that togethor and i can easily see it.Mike Veitch:
plus cost of living in dif. areas, and probably alot of divers are from california or florida where its high.
