Serious question time....although this thread will only be about 10% useful.
GF's 21st is coming up in a few weeks. We're both students studying Marine Biology. She absolutely loves Sharks and has always wanted to dive with them.
Now there is an aquarium that offers Shark dives in their tanks. 30mins or so plus other talks for £125 per person + £35 kit hire. I'd be going in with her so that'll be £320 for us both!
Now, being a student, money isn't exactly plentiful. I am getting a job over the summer but don't know hours or rate of pay and I am eating big chunks out of my overdraft but I do have a credit card with a £500 limit. I may be making living hard for myself for a month over the summer.
Do I:
A) Splash out and make it a present she'll remember for the rest of her life.
or
B) Find something cheaper. |

Buy a plastic shark, throw it in the pool and play Jaws music.
Edit- don't forget the rose petals to make it romantic. |

how long have you been dating?
at 21 it is rare that you will end up with her for life, so spare the money you don't have and buy her a shamwow instead.
can't buy me love;) |

| I would also like to say you might want to opt for a blow up shark. |

| Drop the one fity' for her to go. The rest is just a present for you. Plus you can take pics for her (though guessing you get ones from the guys in it too). |

| Just over a year. I know this may seem cliche but I think we'll be together for a long time. Its something i'd enjoy too. |

I was thinking that to be honest. But she doesn't like diving without me. I'd want her to be comfortable and enjoy the experience rather than worrying and thinking about the dive. |

Then you just answered your question: You really can't afford the dive for both of you, she doesn't want to dive alone. Take her out to dinner for some sushi and watch Jaws when you get home. |

buy a inflatable boat, then ride the big blue untill you arrive at shark territory. this way you only have to pay for the boat.:cool:
or you could ask that guy who recently bought a boat. on the other hand it could turn out---> like Dead calm :eek: |
