Got myself stuck with a bit of a problem today - should I buy a dive shop t-shirt or not?
I've found myself with a bit of a collection since the start of the trip. My Aussie t-shirt which has seen me through many a dive trip is starting to look a bit worn out and on SS Thorfinn, I noticed they had purple t-shirts with a choice of wrecks on the back which included my particular favourite - the Fujikawa maru. So I bought myself one.
Then after our second visit to Action Divers in the Philippines and we said our goodbyes again, we were both give t-shirts by the owner. (A bit of a marketing exercise I suspect.) So suddenly, I have a t-shirt from both places we'd dived.
Then we were diving on the Great Barrier Reef, on the Spirit of Freedom...should I buy one of their expensive t-shirts? They did have a very nice long sleeve on with a great shade of grey - so the answer was yes!
So today I had the dilemma of whether to buy a Fish Rock Dive Centre one or not? They were particularly good, as it has a map of the Fish Rock Cave, which we went out to dive today and they did come in a wide range of colours and styles. But the price tag was 20 quid...so the answer was no, and my collection has come to a standstill.
Still not sure if PURG - the Port Macquire Underwater Research Group - who we dived with on Sunday would have had anything like that for me anyway. Though we did come away with a cerficate to say we took part in "Clean Up Australia Day".
