I like the people, the gear, the locations, the work to improve skills, the weightless feeling, the stuff I see, and the way diving relaxes me.
I like going to warm, tropical locations to dive occasionally - for the change, but, frankly, they are not as fun for me as the cold local waters. The diving is more intense here, like the difference between riding a merry-go-round and the Tower of Death ride. Both are fun in their own way, but I get bored of the merry-go-round after a while. I never get bored diving the Pacific North West.
The instructors I know rarely dive for "fun" anymore, and I heed that warning. But I do enjoy increasing my education in diving.
I enjoy diving with new divers and seeing the freshness they enjoy, and helping when I can (and they ask).
I enjoy diving with divers better than me that mentor me without even knowing it sometimes. They help me to see the potential in my own diving future, which keeps me interested.
I like learning something new on Scuba board, and then going out and trying to apply it.
Maybe some divers have seen it all, done it all, know it all. If that was me, I'd be bored, too. But there is so much room in my diving future, that I guess I need a few thousand more dives before I get there.
I think I'd dive a dirty hoof print if I could get my mask down into it.
