Looking for wrecks or dives sites beyond 60 or 100 feet? Do you want a more extensive knowledge of diving theory?
Mention a "deep dive" amid a group of divers and watch their reactions. Novice divers who have yet to venture below 60 feet want to know what its like. More experienced divers who have been a bit deeper chatter with excitement. Those who have trained to prepare themselves to venture to 130 feet (the recommended farthest limit of recreational diving), show enthusiasm tempered with respect for the serious nature of safe deeper diving. At any rate, there's certainly something a bit alluring, exciting and mysterious about going "deep".
