Scuba diving is very money-intensive. If you rent basic equipment, figure on spending $100 per day, depending on how heavy your exposure protection (wetsuit) is. Buying basic equipment can easily run $500 or more, plus maintenance and repairs. A dive computer ranges from under $100 for a simple electronic gauge to several hundred dollars for a computer designed for multiple gas mixtures and high-end features.
Add in the fees for training courses and ticket prices to travel to warm-water dive sites, and it all adds up fast.
It's all worth it.
