How much does the average dive cost you?

[SML]

On the flip side a trip to Wrayspuddle ...

£8 entry fee, air £8, Petrol £8, min of 2 dives = £12 per dive

Possibly mental, but that's what mixed gas diving costs.

[Ian@1904]

Fuel - assuming not shared £40
Boat £40-£45
Gas £0.40 to £16 dpending on the filling source
Car parking -depends on the location
Bribe to wife and daughter(The trimix weekend in August is currently costing me two nights in London, two shows, train tickets, for wife and daughter)
B&B min £25, plus meal and beer so say £40 = fuel cost
So a min of £90 for the day say £45 per dive

Figures are "illustrative" and may go up or down depending on factors which I can't currently remember. If planning mix diving of your own, contact a professionally accreditted Mix Diving Consultant.

Aha this is where I have gone wrong. My calculations were
Mix - use what I got for the last dive which was blown out - Free
Deco Gas Same - Free
Boat £45 x 2
Diesel filled the car the day before = domestic use, therefore Free
B&B £40
Food £10

It'll cost £25 per dive Rob - good value Rob being Mr Madfish...

car fuel £60
2 days boat £100
2 days gas (18/45 40 & 80) £100
food drink accom parking £80

so 340/2 = £170

34min BT = £5 per min (or £300 ish per hr) Clare

and supplying the whole boat with chocolate = priceless

although I'm hoping CC mixed gas diving is significantly cheaper than OC mixed gas diving

Mal

only if your adding in all the depreciation/servicing costs of OC gear

but no, we're just looking at dive costs whether OC SCR or CCR, if you have £15k of gear it doesnt matter what it is, its all going to depreciate
