I understand the savings but totaly dissagree with most of the comments.
£1.50 a dive - get real. Who forks out the several thousand pounds to buy it in the first place? No insurance, what if it gets nicked or dents your car? Extra petrol to tow it there? The additional time, storage, maintenance, effort??? - and as for doing away with the safty equipment!!, no wonder your avatars a smoking skull!? We have two ribs in our club and I have never dived off either of them in 4 years because for a few quid I'd rather pay a skipper and do without the hassle.
If you live close to the sea it would be a bit more attractive for some, but I would still hope that most would let good scence prevail with the use of it.
