My wife doesn't dive, but supports my interests 200%. If I rip a neck seal she wants to buy me a new dry suit. I tell her I just need a new seal. She says it never hurts to have a back-up dry suit. I tell her we can't afford it. She says we'll make do.
She says, let's make sure we go on vacation where you can dive every day. She loves to go with me to every dive and sit on the beach/boat. She budgets it in. This year we settled on Kona.
"How much are the boat dives?" she asks. I tell her I'll do beach dives and save money. She goes on line and says, "Here's a good deal on a package of 10 dives including the Manta night dive. Want me to email them to see if you can solo? I know how you hate to be toured around in a group."
"No," I tell her, "Kona has great shore dives."
"At least do the manta night dive. I know you want to do that."
"Yeah, thanks."
The house needs panting. She says, if we wait until next year I can get that new BP/wings/reg/weight system I've been looking at. But I know she really wants the house painted, so I'll wait.
Oh yes, it's more than just luck....
