I cost out my equipment in DCU's (Diving Cost Units ~= to €300.00)

1 Stage Regulator with mineral SPG = 1 DCU
Regulators for Doubles = 2 DCU's
Set of Doubles with Bands = 2 DCU's
Argon setup with regulator and tank = 1 DCU
1 weeks Hotel bill while diving = 1 DCU
Drive to the Lot and back for cavediving = 1 DCU
Trimix fills for 3 divers (15/55, 50/15 and O2) in D12s at 250bar = 1 DCU
1 Drysuit = 2-7 DCU's
1 Scooter = 10 DCU's
Compressor, new = 8-30 DCU's

It makes it easier to figure out, harder for the wife to figure out, and any other tech diver can instinctively grasp the concept

Michael
Who, unfortunately, is way past 250 DCU's

Wow - I saw David's post and though he's lucky, my last insurance list was 70 DCU's and that didn't cover any spare bits it was only the kit I'd "need" replaced to carry on diving. But 250 is something else!
