I have no clue what you're getting at. Besides missing the point completely with the infinite tank and suggesting I'd look for another hobby, it's honestly quite pretentious to decide that people claiming it was a factor that made them decide to not keep diving, was just a lame excuse.
Fact remains, diving is a maintenance heavy hobby, sure there are hobbies that might ask more maintenance, there are plenty more that don't .
Anything worth wile involves work indeed, but driving 10 minutes to work is just objectively more interesting to the majority of people, than having to drive 1 hour and a half to work. If you could have exactly the same satisfacting from your job 10 min away as you could from the one 1h30 away, you would mostly or always choose the 10 min from home job no? The majority of people would anyway.
Joris,
I've never wanted to be part of the majority, and doing what I do, as much as I love my profession, quiet, me time is every bit as important.
I have , what I refer to as ''stay over suites'', at both of my operations, saves me a ton on hotel costs, but there's nothing like the ferry ride home, porpoises, whales, beautiful scenery, vodka tonic/Hoagie, no place I'd rather be.
We're all different!
Rose.
