Scuba diving is a non-competitive sport where many of the participants mostly care about "competitive" goals such as depth, time, SAC and perceived experience/skills as a measuring gauge to compare themselves to peers. You see these things in many threads and questions everywhere.
Unfortunately it seems that our DNA is wired to be competitive and this sometimes causes injury or death while scuba diving. Pushing the limits and trust me dives are prime examples where divers feel the need to be better or equal what those around them do.
