Don't keep reeipts

[Dougalsdad01]

I've got most of the receipts from when I started diving with PADI and S&O with the exception of air-fills, camera, housing, strobe, fuel, dive site entry fees, overnight fees and a few odds & ends. I made the mistake of adding them up this morning, gulp, £10,500 so far. I wish I hadn't added them up.

Then I divided the cost into the number of hours I've spent underwater, it comes to about £150 per hour. I need to do more diving to bring my hourly costs down (and not buy more toys).

Was this just your kit or Bones's as well?

If you will buy solid gold weight and caviar & quails egg rolls at Stoney what do you expect?


Ps Way too much time on your hands...

[uncle bede]

Yes, he forgot to specify that 3000 was kit, the rest was on his camping hampers......

Yep, it's bound to get expensive when you take this sort of gear on dive trips...

I should have explained it better, that was for 2 sets of kit and training up my current standard (that'll be crap then).

I should have split Bones' and my kit then the price per hour would not have been so great (and less painful), on the other hand Bones' £ per hour underwater would probably have been greater than mine. On second thoughts I've not spent as much on her as I have on myself so her cost might be less, but she's done fewer dives than I have, oh I don't know, maybe a better analysis is in order. Stop picking on me, I'm tired.

Polly, one has standards to maintain, just because I was roughing it doesn't mean I have to live rough.

Can't wait for my first invite round for sunday lunch if they're your roughing it standards!

£10,500? Wow! I'd like to know more about those "odds and ends"!
