remember back when you decided to spend your $450/?300 on an open water course????? what made you spend your hard earned cash???? what made you 'buy into scuba diving?' why didn't you take up skydiving(other than a fear of heights!!!) or white water rafting? I'm doing some research towards a thesis on the diving industry. thanks for your input Umm ,, actually I took up parachuting and diving at roughly the same time, eventually decided I couldn't afford to do both, and living by the sea made the choice easier - that and landing on the wrong side of the airfield perimeter fence one day from "The Diver" <adrian@the-diver.rollocks.co.uk> contains these words: > remember back when you decided to spend your $450/?300 on an open water > course?????

Sounds more like research for marketing to me... > thanks for your input >remember back when you decided to spend your $450/£300 on an open water >course????? Well................I only paid $95.00 U.S for mine but that was a few years ago (like 30). >what made you spend your hard earned cash???? what made you 'buy into scuba >diving?' Skin diving and lobstering in the Keys every summer since I was 5. It helped that Dad was certified. why didn't you take up skydiving(other than a fear of heights!!!) >or white water rafting? Not much white water in west central Fla. Didn't have any interest in skydiving as a kid. I've tried it since and I didn't get the thrill I thought it would deliver. Well, except the part where the shute didn't open completely. I'm doing some research towards a thesis on the >diving industry. >thanks for your input Hook kids early. Oops, PADI beat you to it. > remember back when you decided to spend your $450/?300 on an open water > course????? Not really. I do remember spending $130, though. > what made you spend your hard earned cash???? what made you 'buy into scuba > diving?' why didn't you take up skydiving(other than a fear of heights!!!) > or white water rafting?

It's free since my friends and I collectively own rafts and take them down class iv and v rivers ourselves. >remember back when you decided to spend your $450/£300 on an open water >course????? Holy bankjob batman, that's steep. Here basic PADI course runs ~$250 Canadian, that's about 100 pounds. >what made you spend your hard earned cash???? what made you 'buy into scuba >diving?' why didn't you take up skydiving(other than a fear of heights!!!) Tried it, was very disappointed (minus the parasailing part which I've wanted to try ever since). >or white water rafting? Tried that too. Lots of fun, still do it on occasion, but not something I'd take up full time. Bryan > remember back when you decided to spend your $450/?300 on an open water > course?????
