I used to be one of the non-divers who laughs at my friends who complain abt being broke due to diving. But after I tried it....I am converted. It is really difficult to express the feelin of diving, I usually use the word 'SURREAL'

Hmm.. i must agree.. diving is surreal.. the love for the ocean, the sea breeze.. just the thought of it takes my breathe away 
Closest thing you can get to being on the moon.. you know, the feeling of weightlessness..

And also the closest you come to flying without wings and imitate SuperMan!! No stress over the weekend! no one to disturb you...but the reality of it will hit you hard when you reach into your pocket and find a big hole in it

OP
I dun teach in a MOE school
Yeah, I love that feeling of just gliding through water, being 'free' (not exactly 'free' cos we still need to lug all that eqpt to survive under water!).
Actually, I put aside $100 each month to make sure that I have some money for diving.

LOL... That's the other reason I don't give it up... I have so much money tied up in the sport, I can't afford to! Tons of gear (3 sets of doubles, 4 stage bottles, 7 or 8 regs, 4 Nikonos cameras and lenses, strobes, Viking Pro, two wetsuits, several computers etc.) a Zodiac Hurricane RIB, an extra HOUSE! Not to mention a trip or two south every year... It never ends! :jpshakehe
