I guess it's a matter of perspective -- a 3 hr. drive for nice salt water diving would be great! Some of us are driving 2 hrs. each way to dive in a murky quarry. Sure, I could hop a cheap flight to Florida - but for 2 of us it becomes less cheap, even more so with fees to bring our gear, then I need a rental car, hotel, and don't forget an 18 or 24 hour no-fly time. Not to mention the hassle of air travel these days, arrive early, late flights, wait for shuttle to rental cars, etc., etc.
