I’ve got a new CCR on order - $8500 (including shipping and sales tax), and another $700 for blinky HUD and HUD mounts. That depleted the scuba fund! Good thing I just got a very nice raise.

all scuba except the bottom two shelves on the last picture...
compressor isn't visible in this picture set, nor is the service bench, tools, and stuff that can't "winter over" in the marginally heated space and is inside...
Trying to find a 5-step program....
Holy crikes!
When does your episode of “hoarders” air?
I came to diving from sailing and was pleasantly surprised at how cheap diving is in comparison. Ten years on and tens of thousands spent on diving: training; kit; time driving to and from the sites; entry; hotels/hostels; boat fees; bacon sandwiches... it all mounts up.
The most expensive part of diving is taking the time off from work.

You would have loved my “take it to the dump“ phase!

I feel fortunate our dive gear has been paid for decades ago. Yeah, we replace stuff here and there but between husband and I no more than the equivalent of one major piece a year, if that much. Some years not even that.
Was trying to figure the fuel we use for an outing and i don't think is more than about 20-25 gallons a day (at the very most), plus the fills. that's our (husband and i) cost to go diving for a day. I think i consume more fuel going to work during the week in the car, than the boat on weekends going diving.
Sometimes it feels we expend more money the weekends we don't go diving.
