Some dive caves to explore the unknown and see what no one else has seen before. Some dive wrecks for treasure or for historical reasons. Some dive deep to get to sites that interest them other to push the limits. Some of us just dive to look at the fish or take photos. There are some who dive to perform a specific task, repairing something or recovering objects. Others just because they enjoy diving and being in the environment no mater what there doing.
I tried diving because it interested me and sounded like fun. I continue to dive because its an outlet from the world. Its the most calming, relaxing thing Ive ever done. I would prefer all my dives to be in clear warm water with lots to see and experience but Im just as happy in no vis and 10 of water just hovering. It relives the stress of day to day life to get out on a weekend and dive. No worries, no schedules, no phones and no customers with complex computer problems.
I train so I can be more relaxed and calm. The better diver I am the more easer it will be to relax, kickback and enjoy the dive for what I intend it for which is to relax. I intend to work my way to Instructor level not so much to teach but as a way to offset diving expenses. I also aspire to become an extended range diver capable of making simple deco dives w/accelerated deco using Nitrox. Why? So I can stay longer in the environment and extend the feeling I receive while diving not because I want to dive deep or technical dives but just so I can stay longer at rec depths.
Now my second question is: Are your motivations dangerous or risky?
