how do you stay sane when you know you're not getting in the water for a few weeks/months and knowing that if you were home it would be an every weekend thing??

Hi. My name is Fire-Diver, and I'm a dive-aholic. Its been 2 months since I got wet. May be another 2 months before I get again. I spend most of my time in the fetal position, in a corner, crying and holding my regulator.

For me it's not so much as being stuck away from where I can dive but rather needing to get things done other than diving. I focus on being productive so that I can go play guilt free when conditions permit.
Days like today are freebies. The seas are calm, the water is unseasonably warm and the tide is OK but the air temperature is 18F That makes it easy to set diving aside and knock off some chores. When I feel like getting my head into dive stuff there is always some gear that can use attention, something to study up on or posts like this to write.
Having other hobbies is also a big help. during the winter my snowblower collection and website can be very consuming too.
If I were (trapped) away I'd remind myself that there really is more to life than diving and since it's not in my control at the moment I'd be smart to make the most of the opportunity.

I finally get to cut a hole in the ice now that it's thick enough. So for me the wait is over on Feb 10 & 11th. First ice dive of the season coming up!!!
