Actually, unless it's your job, nobody at all NEEDS to go deep or long. It's a WANT. DESIRE. etc etc.

Noone needs to explain anything to us. The choices are theirs to make. But it is wise to ask and answer these type questions of yourself before increasing the level of risk in your diving.

Increasing risk for the sake of risk, to dive deeper in the same green lake or blue ocean is a decision that might need to be re-thought. Now, if one has a strong desire to dive some specific wrecks or caves then the additional training and risk become a necessity to fulfill that desire. And still, it is wise to weigh the additional risks against the strength of the desire and its motivations.

Dive safe and have fun everyone,

I agree w/ you guys. One has to ask these questions ones self. BUt making it sound like there has to be a need is incorrect. AS TND said unless its your work or something its all a desire.

Diving deep for the sake of exploration is as valid as any other reason. There are some that want to go deep so they can come back and say "I went deep" for no other purpose. Other divers perpetuate that with the "wow" reaction too.
