??? Why you giving up mate if u dont mind me asking?
I think the best thing to do is hold on to your gear as you will want to spear later in life?

This reply is coming from someone that has a ton of hobbies, with shifting interests....
Man, you live near a ton of lakes. The only person stopping you, is you. I know it's more fun to go out and hang with others, but if you love the sport, you'll do what you can to get out and dive. I'm lucky to go once a month and I have not hung it up yet. Maybe the rare opportunities to do it are what keep me coming back??
If you like diving, don't get into a poor me mentality, plan a time to go dive and go do it. If you really don't like doing it, then say it's not your bag and walk away.

6 months of the year the lakes are iced over here in Alberta. My gear sits and waits for me until May, every year! I stay connected through Deeper Blue, have the odd spearfishing dream, and miss spearfishing terribly.
But my gear's still there in May. I'd say sleep on it for a few months.
Warmly,
Erik

well i will hold onto it for a bit i just wasnt sure that things were going to go right with rent and phone bill i told my wife well ill do what i need too. I know scott would feel safer if i did LMAO so i will hold onto it and see what happens. and it isnt cause i cant go out with anyone or anything like that it was just my family is alot more important than my hobbies
Me and my wife went round after round with this same thing, and I said "listen woman.....you never know when I might need this f*@ckin jet-pack"
And to this day, I sleep every night comforted by the knowledge that I could get to Culver's in 15 minutes by car, or in 12 seconds with this bad ass piece of machinery.
Sure I could have put food on the table and saved our home.......but then again, it is a JET-PACK.

We're all going through hard times and each of us could tell his own sad money story these days.
Me I have a single income, 2 mortgages, a wife in college, a 3 years old baby growing up so fast that she needs a whole set of new clothes and shoes every 3 months.
BUT my spearfishing stuff stays here with me.
Cause if it's bills that don't let me sleep at night, how could I give up the only thing that really makes me DREAM?

There was a comment made on the fact that used gear wont fetch a very fair price. Not only is that true, but your gear is worth more than that. Depending on how much your going to need to come up with, selling your gear probably wont cut it. The long term food benefit is greater than the immediate cash pay off. Sorry about the situation, Forrest
