I work remotely and used to be able to work internationally but that is no longer allowed. When I was able to work internationally I would go to Cozumel and do a 2 tank dive in the morning and work in the afternoon and it was quite affordable.
Now that I have to stay in the US I'm having trouble finding affordable diving. I tried looking at Puerto Rico and USVI (St Thomas) and they're quite expensive but maybe I'm looking at the wrong dive ops and wrong places to stay. Can anyone let me know how to dive in the US on a budget? I know "affordable" means something different to everyone but I'm looking for lodging, diving and some meals for around $250-ish a day. I have all my own equipment.
