Hi all,
I have been replying and following posts for a while but this is my first topic as I have been scratching my head on this for some time. I'm relatively early in my diving career so I love the big pelagic fish far and away the most, followed by reefs and swim-through / cenote diving. I'm also starting to get into wreck diving a bit and hoping to do my certification later this summer as I like this history behind it and I really want to work my way up to the Thistlegorm. The one thing I cannot figure out though, and I mean this in genuine curiosity rather than with judgement, why do people do muck / macro diving? I know there's a very strong photography angle for people who are passionate about that but I was just curious if there was anything else I was missing or perhaps not appreciating but slowly looking through the dirt for teeny-tiny bugs seems very tedious to ignorant me.
Thanks in advance,
NN
