I dive a local lake or quarry quiet often. Of course it amounts to the fact that the ocean is 12 hours or better to any where decent and as others have stated the compounding cost of all that goes with Gas, hotels, cost of boat to divem, food etc....
I never do get tired of the same old same old. In fact I enjoy it as I know I am keeping my skills up to date. I did recently become a dive master and now I never have the same old routine. I now go out with new divers mostly and they are always a blast despite many veteran divers hating to dive with them.
I go with our classes and assist with the classes and the sheer joy of watching a open water candidate learn the skills to become an open water diver is remarkeable. I love most of all watching their confidence boost over a short period of time too!
