I don't think anyone is blaming the charters, at least not from what I've seen. I mean, we all think it sucks, but I don't blame them at all.
I quit in 2005... what do you think that adds up to? Should at least be a rb by now, lol.
Upcoming trip to MX for full cave in August:
Flight $725
Hotel for the week $406
Class $225/day x 5 = $1125
New wetsuit $550
New wheeled duffle $225
That’s so far

Funny how none of have amortized our gear into these costs. And I mean ALL our gear, even the stuff we bought, sold... bought, kept.... use, don't use....
I don't even want to think about that and I've only been diving for five years.
