I thought of naming this thread "landlocked divers" but realized that even some coastal divers may not have good diving nearby.
I'm at a point in my life where I want to settle down some where, maybe buy a home (hopefully) and stay put. Part of me wants to return to my home town of Albuquerque, which I love but unfortunately there is not much to be said for diving there. The Blue Hole is about 2 hours away and is a fun dive but I imagine it gets boring after awhile. Sure, California is a flight away as is other destinations but unless I some how become wealthy how often can I really afford to travel? Maybe 2-3 times a year at best? I'm sure some people know of creative ways to cure the diving bug which is why I'm asking.
I know many people who love diving live in areas that are more than a day drive away. How do you do it?
Another part of me wants to move to Florida. I would be further away from family but I do like it there and the diving is phenomenal, not to mention you are a very cheap and fast flight away from many locations around the Caribbean and Mexico...
It's not just me either, me and my sweetheart both share this love and passion for diving together and have loved our diving adventure together so far, so it's more than just a thing for me.
How do you guys do it? Ye' landlocked divers and those far from the good stuff...
