I just want to say that I hate you people.
I wish SOOOOOO much that I had my own zodiac, but it's 15-30k for one and that's a lot of dive trips that I would have to not take.....

I can't talk about the Netherlands, but over here, there's always good used boats available. Checkout All About Rigid Inflatable Boats - RIB Enthusiasts as well. It's a RHIB forum based in the UK, but lots of European input...
I find the biggest advantage of having my own boat is simply having the ability to dive whenever and wherever I want, with whomever I want. This is especially handy when it comes to the photography stuff since I don't need to worry 20 random divers kicking the cr*p out of things and having miscellaneous bodies photo-bombing my pics!
And don't be afraid to go "small". My first Zodiac was a 12.5' with a 25 hp on it. We had many, many grand adventures on that little boat. I still miss the thing... especially at the gas pump!
