Now, the real problem, How do you address the "how much did it cost" question from the better half?

You say, "Dear, I guess I need to buy you some jewelry, because I just spent over a thousand dollars on a dive scooter."

Rodney,
Thanks, I will be doing some boat diving with the Magnus, but it's being bought for the caves, if I were doing more boat diving the Minnus would be number one on my list.
To all, partially I wasn't looking at a Minnus because apparently they are so popular, you have to get on a waiting list for one, I believe all that there are, are already spoken for. I didn't mean to sound as if I were "knocking" the product, but I didn't want to wait.

Funny you should say that, Although no figure was brought up, she did bring up a ring she had seen, I'm not kidding either that happened. I am taking her out to eat tonight but maybe I should enquire about the ring? Ring maybe cheaper than a Lawyer?

Be creative. Tell her that you got it to make it safer for you to dive. Or just lie about the cost :-D

Whatever you do, don't mention to her that you paid MORE than I paid for my Winnebago and dive trailer COMBINED. :rollguy

I ain't buying that, you may be a real wheeler / dealer but nobody's that good.
Well off to eat

Good luck! LOL.. If you end up divorced can I have the scooter?

No, the correct phrase would be "dear, I just bought us both scooters." Any other statement will be properly translated as "Dear, I just bought YOU a scooter. May I carry it to the water for you?"

What we have here is a perfect example of execution without a complete plan in place.

Or will it be "an execution" because a complete plan was not in place?
