Why: to get more experience in a quicker amount of time. Is it safe to do so?
Experience at what, and what is the need for such an accelerated timeline for gaining it?

I assume that I will never do a 600 foot dive in my lifetime. It would be a major undertaking requiring lots of really good and expensive equipment and long, long hours of decompression. I just threw some reasonable numbers for mixes into multideco to figure a dive with 15 minutes of bottom time. The total run time for the dive was about 9 hours, and it called for more than 800 cubic feet of gas. Do you really want to do two of those in a day?

Here is an account of a famous 530 foot dive.

Experience? That would come from the preparation for the dive. Please convince us you're not a(nother) internet troll.
 
Most folks I know will only do 1 deep dive a day (beyound 300ft).
