I am 52 years old and I am supposed to be mentally balanced. But since I started diving, I have always been attracted by the depth. It is irrational. Even though I made myself the promise to never go below 40 meters, I try to reach 40 at every single dive even when there is nothing special to see. Even for a bump dive. Just to see 40 on my DC. If you want to spoil my dive, just tell me during the briefing that the bottom is at 15 meters. Sometimes, I am at 30 meters with my wife-buddy or with a DM that I know well and I signal that I will go to 40 and come back. This has become a routine. Of course, perfect visibility, no current and in the first quarter of the dive. A shrink might say that I do that to demystify 40 meters and feel comfortable at that depth but I don't do shrinks. So my question is: are there things that you do while diving that are not really logical but not dangerous either?
