And some have no interest in lobster hunting, others yet call cave diving "petting wet rocks" So you stay in the shallows and hunt those underwater cockroaches as for me I'll be on the wrecks in the darkness below.
As for the mid-water hangs...you'd be surprised the encounters with marine life I have had on ccr.

I for one, enjoy diving deep because I am mean. When I am diving with helium, I laugh at the fact that my usage is denying some poor child a baloon filled birthday party or some poor lady with a bad hip a proper MRI.

When I am diving helium I laugh because it makes me sound like Alvin the chipmunk ...

There are 2 types of divers:
1 - Those that are perfectly happy at their current level of training/diving with no need or want for anything more.
2 - Those that want to go deeper, penetrate further, or just do more.
Of the second type of diver, there are 3 further types:
1 - Those that will not actually do anything, but still want to.
2 - Those that will get the proper training and progress safely to their goals.
3 - Those that will just do it, perhaps with mentors, and hope for the best.
There is no need in discussing where I fall into the above categories, but it sounds like you have your head screwed on fairly well. I still have not reached my depth goal either.

It's not necessarily true that there's less life at depths. Some forms of life only grow deep. This time next week I'll be on my way back to Nootka Sound ... where I saw my first cold-water gorgonians a few weeks ago. You won't even see the little ones above about 150 fsw ... and the larger ones start at about 170.
Coming upslope, there's no need to hang ... cloud sponges between 120 and about 70 feet ...
... and carpets of color above that ...
... deco never looked so good ...

I get the sinking feeling (no pun intended) that I live in the wrong corner of the country/world.
