What is the appeal of Lake, Cold, Low vis diving?

[Thea-SMACO]

也许有人可以向我解释一下。
我是一名度假型温水潜水员。
我喜欢它，因为这里有很多有趣的东西可以看。

那么在湖泊、采石场、寒冷、低能见度的水域潜水的吸引力是什么呢？

仅仅是潜水本身的刺激吗？
这是条件所带来的挑战吗？
也许有时候会有一些有趣的东西可看？

这也是我想问的问题

This quotes the original post, but in Chinese, and adds a comment in Chinese that translates to, "This is also the question I want to ask."

Maybe someone can explain it to me.

So what is the appeal of diving in lakes, quarries, cold, low vis waters?

Adventure!
The thrill of the unknown!
The challenge!

i will add when you don't have the choice you make the best of it. I rather dive in cold water instead of not diving at all, i still really enjoy it.

End like everyone know cold water diver are the best one exposed to extreme conditions cold water and low viz they develop skills that other don't in the south hemisphere !!!!

Be safe

In Florida, its the thrill of the unknown, will you run into a alligator, cotton mouth, snapping turtle, alligator gar, various piles of garbage, or unfriendly landowners.

I may have replied in 2007... but, purpose?
--nothing else to do.
--Maybe practice some skills?
--get log count up for a requirement.
--no other possible reason (at least for me -- no real shells there to collect).

Any dive is better than no dive, especially for some us more inland. Some lakes are awesome, like Jocassee, which I loved camping and diving for a couple of days.

There's something about dark cold murky dives that's just special, and I'm trying to think of why it is because I hate murky low vis hot water dives.

There's just someting relaxing about the cold dark. It's almost like it's quieter. Once your eyes adjust, you actually can see way more, and once you're below the thermocline, you're in a world that very vew people go to (and the vis is way better).

One of my favorite dive moments was in the Puget Sound. I got down to about 85 ft and just stood on the ledge looking down into the abyss and realized it got even darker, and God knows where it ended. I also realized that there could be an orca or straight up kraken not even 10m away, and I'd never know it. Turning my back on that void was one of the scariest things I've done. Like not mentally, but in my core. It was a pretty sweet adrenaline hit.

Mostly for the sakes of keeping current for when the tropics beckons.
Also good for keeping my club members in training. if you can do it well in cold dark murky waters, Bonaire will be dead easy by comparison.
