How far will you go for 'blue water' aka ocean diving? Will you go as far as you did a year ago? Will you go as often? Will you spend more or less? Will you do 1 big trip or two smaller ones?
And how about 'local' diving? For some that is blue water if you live near a coast...but for many of us that is a quarry, lake, river or some other body of fresh water...muck diving it is sometimes called...mud diving or river ratting. Whatever you call it...how far will you go to DIVE????
And on that note...are you willing to drive longer distances to dive someplace 'new' or with gas prices so high...is the same ole watering hole you usually dive just fine to "GET WET"???
So please tell us just how far you'll go....
to get wet that is! -ww

Ok so how far will you go to 'Get Wet'???
How far will you go for 'blue water' aka ocean diving?
There is NO limit! I've been as far away as Fiji (with SD), and as close as the Flower Gardens (local when I lived in Houston, but 5 hour drive now).
Will you go as far as you did a year ago?
Definitely!
Will you go as often?
Probably more often!
Will you spend more or less?
Depends on the trip! And when you're diving the great blue ocean, who cares!?
Will you do 1 big trip or two smaller ones?
I'll likely do 1 big trip (more than 10 days) and several small ones (1 week or less)
And how about 'local' diving? For some that is blue water if you live near a coast...but for many of us that is a quarry, lake, river or some other body of fresh water...muck diving it is sometimes called...mud diving or river ratting. Whatever you call it...how far will you go to DIVE????
I honestly have no interest in local diving! (I live in Dallas!)
And on that note...are you willing to drive longer distances to dive someplace 'new' or with gas prices so high...is the same ole watering hole you usually dive just fine to "GET WET"???
I'd prefer to fly!

But, I'll travel as far as I need to for a good trip and spend as much as I can afford. For the next two years, I'd like to do one big trip a year and one or two smaller ones. After that I'll be retired from the Navy and the big $$ will be gone, so will depend on what I can afford

I do some local diving and drive the east coast regularly to dive.
By all that is wet, I do hereby swear, (politely), and attest, upon pain of never diving again, (real or imagined), that I understand and affirm, that I agree to the above.

Usually 7 or 8 miles is about as far as I can go. Any farther and my truck would get washed away at high tide.

I'll go all the way even if it takes 31 hours to arrive.......................................
.......at a dive location.
I'll continue to make a trek like this - or something similar (Palau, Truk, Indonesia, etc) - once per year.
Regretably, it only happens about once per year
I spent about the same amount of money this year as I spent last year. I did not spend as much on dive gear before this trip - the only purchase being a new doo-rag. But spent several hundred dollars more on airfare. I should have not bought any new dive gear prior to this trip, but I can't help myself. You gotta have something new to try out before a big dive trip.
The next dive trip will be a small jaunt - a destination not more than 2 time zones away from home, but far enough to claim that my company cell phone can't work.

If you plan a trip to Thailand I'll be happy to help in any way.

Of course some great diving is a half mile or less from my house and I go there (or out on the boat) as often as possible.
Financial picture wasn't great the past year so the only dive travel I got in was to the mainland... you know, "26 Miles Away." Hope to get to Africa and South America next year.

For Great Lakes weekend trips I will drive up to about 5 hours probably more if the opportunity comes up.
Trips that require airfare... I've only done a couple of tropical dive trips. I'm thinking that I need to start planning at least one per year. The mid-winter break is just what the doctor ordered in the middle of a long WI winter. I'm starting my new resolution with a little Cayman trip at the end of January.
