Wow.....dude....all I can say is "clueless".....how about we jump out of a plane without a parachute....just to see if we can make it...? geez....
I see a benefit in knowing that if, say, a loved one was sinking below 250 ft I could reasonably chase him/her down and return to the surface with them without it being a 100% death sentence. Unfortunately on SB there are posters who like to brag about deep dives on air, real or imagined, and this can form an impression on relatively new divers. Consider for the moment the fate of the three who wanted to bounce dive to 300 ft-or was that 400 ft (accounts vary)-for bragging rights: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cozumel/395192-scuabamau-diving-accident.html
