Here in the NE most of my dives are ended by weather before we even get on the boat :(
 
For me it's almost always low gas levels that end my dives. In situations where NDLs begin closing in, I ascend and use up all but the last few hundred PSI hanging at my safety stop.
 
Unless I've been stacking dives on a liveaboard or something like that, then no deco limits will call it on the later dives.
 
I guess I am done with diving when I have no air to breath... granted I get a refill and go again.

I was gifted with a set of gills, so I don't breathe. I don't think I have ever had to cut a dive short because of my or my buddies air (while dming is a whole other ball game, did you know you can suck down an 80 in 20 minutes at 40 feet?). Right now, on wreck dives, I dive an hp120 with 36%. This gives me two dives to 90ft for 45min. As for cold, I am known for wearing my 5mm in 85degree water. I always wear so much, so I never get cold.

We plan our dives, but for the weekend dive in the swamps, we dive till the air is out :D
 
Yeah....I usually just dive until I stop getting air and then do a CESA to end the dive...I hate it when it takes a long time to come up so I find this to be much easier.

:D

Kidding!!!
