Maybe 200 feet?

Could we have an evolving depth?
I wouldn't dive 150 feet today... Maybe I would with more experience/training/better equipment?

No depth limit per say ... has more to do w/ how much gas I need to
carry and decompression obligations.
My personal depth limit falls on how long that i want to hang on the line
to decompress ... Decompression also depends on what temp the water
is.

I don't see why not? I personally have no desire right now to exceed 200 feet. I think many of us have a limit that exeeds personal comfort, but it's always subject to change.
Depends of course on the equipment I am carrying and the reason for the dive. At present I've set 200' as my absolute maximum (diving strictly on air) and only did that once. Generally the deepest I go with my current set-up is 180 ft.

OK, then.
As of now, I seem to have little alarm bells going on when I approach the 120' mark...

Depends on what gas... I don't go nearly as deep as I used to but if you go to Truk, you'll be doing deep air. We dove the San Francisco last December a couple of times and we were fine. Long deco though. I'm with Dr. Bill. Never past 200' with air now.

So far I have seen nothing below 34 meters to make me wanna go farther. Doing a wreck dive this Sunday and the possibility to go to 44 meters exist. Will I go that deep? Probably not unless I have eagle eyes and can see a Nudi at 44m while im hanging out at 30m.
