    Default Are you still diving?

    We all know that the economy isn't exactly at it's best at the moment. So I thought i'd ask the question...
    - Are you still planning/taking scuba diving vacations or going scuba diving in your local area?

    Rubber Chicken - So sorry to hear that you're unemployed. Good luck with the job search I'm sure you'll find something soon. Enjoy all the diving that you can before you get that job!

    I dive almost exclusively in my local area. Once in awhile I might venture to the keys or up north as far as Jupiter for the day. This Sept. I am booked on a 1 week liveaboard (first time for me) and first real scheduled vacation. I must admit that the final payment being due in a couple of weeks was looking very bad until my tax return came in.

    The only time that I have an expensive vacation is when the econoy goes to crap and my overtime is gone.

    Thing are starting to look a bit better in the last couple of weeks though.

    Well, Lottie, you get to dive tropical ANY time, so your perk trumps mine!

    Lol@Publisher - wish that was true. Haven't been diving for a good number of months due to various stuff happening in my life...... plus the water's probably been colder than usual! ;o)

    What, like 77 degrees instead of 80?! lol

    In Southern California, in the winter, the water gets down to 54 degrees at the outer islands, and anyone but a sadomasochist dives a drysuit.

    Of course, Chantelle the ice diving Queen would say 54 degree F water temperature is like a jacuzzi spa!
