What would keep you diving?

If you are like me, you don’t get to dive nearly as much as you’d like to dive. Sometimes the roadblock comes in the form of finding a dive buddy available, lack of equipment, lack of money for gas, don’t like diving lakes or rivers, or other reasons. I am curious what is your biggest roadblock which prevents your from diving as much as you’d like.

[Choose #5] That pesky job, wife and kids, sleep, etc. keep me from diving 24x7. But seriously, I do get a lot of dives in. Occasionally finding a buddy is the problem.

[Choose #5] The biggest obstacle here is weather. I do have a drysuit, but the roads to the lake are sometimes dangerous during snow. Other than that, just the fact that I have to eat, sleep, and work is the only thing stopping me from diving.

[Choose #5] I do have trouble finding an available dive buddy sometimes, but I also have three active kids that aren’t old enough to dive yet. That makes it a little harder to just dive whenever I want.

[Choose #2] My biggest roadblock is time and money. I don’t mind diving lakes and rivers, but finding available buddies does get difficult at times. I do own my own equipment and can dive when time and money allow.
