I have a question for those who are fairly new but choose to dive in less than optimal conditions.
If you dive in the cold (anywhere you need a 5mm or more) and where vis is typically less than 10ft, why do you dive?
What do you get out of it? What are you doing there?
I really am curious as I know I will never ever dive cold or with low vis. Seems quite pointless to me. I do want to know what would make some that just took this sport up do it though..
I understand that some people are just going to dive where ever they can due to their financial and geographical restraints.. but what is down there that pulls you in?
I love the act of diving. It's much closer to flying than sky diving or hang gliding. In water, you can defy gravity. You can go up, you can go down.
Scenery is "nice" but not "necessary" for me.
