Your comment made me realize that for most people, diving would be considered a luxury vacation pursuit. I had the good fortune to live in Australia for a decade and belong to a university dive club. We’d camp and dive all weekend for under $100. The club had all the gear you needed except for the more personal wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins. And every year we’d head north from the Sydney area to camp and dive for a week on a coral atoll on the Barrier Reef.
