Fishing computers cars etc all cost a wedge
Yup, all taken on GoPro:
Busy at work
A huge rock that has fallen off the side of an underwater cliff:
An amphora field at 45 meters confirmed to be over 2,000 years old. Most still completely intact and there are still pieces of wood and metal from the ship that was carrying these, incredible!
A barge that sunk 5 winters ago:
The exit to a beautiful cave at 25 meters:
No mask
Who's that sexy diver?
Used to do airsoft, but never spent that much, had one setup, basic camo/ gear, bought it all second hand. I gave it up after a while though, my back and my knees aren't conducive to running around with a gun.
I don't know, I mean, I brew and I cook and I make cheese, and it's all "It can be as cheap or as expensive as you like" usually, I go toward the latter area.
Got 2 brew fridges and a cheese storage fridge running, as well as a kegerator. And thats all in a specially built shop in the garden. As well as an all grain brewing setup which wasn't cheap.
All my cooking gear was thousands no doubt, wusthof knives, bourgeat pans, neff appliances. And I can't just pop into supermarkets for my food because I now know what lurks in the delis and independent stores round here, I spend a lot of food, not wasted but I don't compromise on quality and it gets pricey.
DIY is a bad one too, or more that I'm addicted to buying tools for projects.

The first thing I thought
Must be tough being you
Wouldn't mind going for my Dive Master at some point
You'd be surprised, it's very hard work and so completely tiring. We're just hitting the end of the season & now that i'm not working non stop any more my body has absolutely crashed, I have no energy at all any more.

Psht, that's nothing
I've been doing it for 3 and a half months straight now. Peak season is mental; up at out at 10 with a full boat of experienced divers for 2 dives, back at 2 for a quick lunch then out at 3 with the beginners, sometimes 3 individual trips, then back to fill tanks until sometime 10pm!Where re you off to in November?
I used to play tourney paintball, and that got really expensive near the end. Training twice a month and the a tourney once a month. I was dropping huge amounts of dosh on petrol, paint, green fees etc, not to mention kit upgrades all the time. Now I tend to stick with my PC as an expensive hobby, and anything left over goes into photography kit, which is unbelievably dear, so I generally can't even afford it!

Like a few of us on here, I take to the sky for fun flying light aircraft. I'm fortunate enough that my club is one of the cheapest in the country. For those in the know, I get a PA28 Archer II for £113/hr....wet 
I'm also an avid VATSIMer (see FSX thread in PC games forum). Whilst that in itself is relatively cheep, the amount I spend on addons, hotel rooms and beer for our equivalent of LAN (I guess ours are WAN parties) parties is best kept from the Mrs!

Football....around £80 spent already this season on one home game...Away at Norwich has already cost me £60... All part of being a fan though
The diving sounds really cool though, enjoyed reading about that ^

Pppff. That would be namby pamby warm water diving. If youre not at risk of hypothermia and can actually see anything its too easy. English channel in winter for the win!
(Except I had to give up diving when the kids came along due to lack of cash and time - boo)
