Hi.

Having a conversation with an old diving buddy, we reminisced about when we would go diving in the old soggy with the 25hp Johnson Seahorse outboard, 6 divers chugging out to the dive site, and how we would have a good day out diving including getting to the coast for a tenner.

But what about the cost of diving these days, and how much the costs are going to rise in the future. At what amount will it become too expensive, what happens when the fuel becomes uneconomical for outboards, which are very thirsty beasts.

Will diving become a sport that is too costly for the ordinary working man/woman and are we on the slippery slope now!, taking in too account everything thats involved with a day out diving.

What do you think?.
