It's a hobby because I'm constantly putting money into it to make either myself or my gear better, and also because on every dive I practice something.
It's a sport because it demands dexterity, physical ability and coordination, and it can be stressing at times. Also, I enjoy doing it as much as I enjoyed playing baseball.
Most of all, is some sort of sick obsessive therapy; I'm usually obsessed about going diving (having the ocean a 20 min drive from my house is a big influence on that), and when I get in the water is the best therapy I can think of, and I get "sick" when I can't dive!
