I was just wondering if there is a way to use scuba gear for tax deductions.I can no way relate diving expenses to my job.
I will have my advanced classes done by next month along with being eanx certified.I take all of my classes through ssi as we have an excellent local dealer here.
I have been kicking around the idea of going through the dive con course as i feel it will be a great learning experience.I dont know a whole lot about the course as of yet.But i do know you volounteer to assist the instructors with classes, dives,etc.Even though i wont be getting paid does anyone know if you can deduct your scuba gear and expenses as some sort of career advancement maybe or something like that.
Now dont get me wrong im not gonna do dive con just so i can deduct gear even if thats possible.I was just curious if it could be done.I was just thinking it would be nice to be able to deduct gear after all the money i have spent.My future goal is to become an instructor but for now im just going one step at a time trying to learn as much as possible.Thanks!!
