jonnythan:I dive AND play tennis, and cave, and ski, and all that other stuff. I love getting outside and.... doing stuff.
But how far are you prepared to push your diving? People climb Mt.Everest [believing that they will be OK - many who are not fully proficient for such a climb but have
US$60,000 to pay a guide] when the hard cold statistics are that historically 1 in evry 2 climbers on Everest will die.
I know we all love being in the water, but some divers [specifically technical divers & cave divers] are constantly pushing the boundaries of their personal safety and I find the pyschology of their self belief and confidence in their abilitities [their motivations as well] fascinating.
Some of these people visit Scuba Board and I would love to hear their personal thoughts on what drives them.
Are they adrenalin junkies, control freaks, tech heads, or just pioneers and adventurers?
