Satisfying your needs

[The Chairman]

It's tough for me living in the Keys year round. Boats only go out in the morning and at noon, so I have to time things carefully to get a dive in. That's why I sometimes go north to the caves. Instead of being limited to two or three dive opportunities a day, they are endless... Like the real estate people suggest are the three most important considerations in deciding where to live: Location! Location! Location!

Wow. That's quite some impressive gloating ...

I consider it a non-contact sport, though it often leaves a mark or two!

This "boat" thing you talk about sounds expensive and time consuming. I just go to where I find water and fall in off the beach.

For sure. The guy who used to service our shop (courses/club dives, etc.) home in NS charged $50 CAD ($$35+ US?) for a 2 tank dive on wrecks--100', 70', whatever. He also did fishing charters so I guess he managed to get by. My experiences in the S. USA is figure about $100US for that + $20 DM tip. Once a year for me with that. The rest shore dives.

It's pretty cold here in central Europe right now and I don't own a dry suit (yet), so I went almost crazy without diving lately.

Have you thought about taking a weekend trip to Nemo33?

The pool looks pretty cool (could be a map on Quake 3 Arena), but after reading through all their rules, I don't feel any need to go there (ever).

To be fair, I wouldn't fly to Brussels just to dive in a pool anyways.

Aren't they building one of these in London...?

I understand. But when desperate...

Much closer to you is the Y-40 pool in Montegrotto Terme, Padua, Italy. It's newer, bigger, 40m deep and within driving distance of Austria. This is what I should have brought up in the first place, instead of Nemo33. I agree that if getting on a plane to go diving, you'd do better to fly to someplace like Egypt for some Red Sea diving.

@REVAN
Thanks for tip, I want to be clear that I didn't mean to criticize you.
I checked their website and found some of their rules rather ridiculous. That's all.
