I was in your situation last year, sitting behind my desk in metropolis and dreaming of the next dive vacation to someplace with white sand beaches, bikinis, coconut trees, and lots of cold beer. I found it, but still kept my day job. I'm still sitting behind my desk as I write this email, but I'm a 10 minute drive from some excellent diving here, and 1-4 hours flight from other tropical dive destinations like Palau, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Yap, Australia, and Indonesia.
So if you don't hate your current line of work but it's the NICE aspects of diving (not the *&%# of commercial diving) that you're after, then consider just moving to a nice place with diving but keeping a day job to pay the bills and keep your S.O. happy. It's a nice compromise. I dive 4-6 times a week after work and on the weekends. Life is good.
