I went down to 144 ft at 40 fathom grotto during this years Dive Rite Demo Days. I average usually 20 ft most of the year diving off of Venice Beach

Fisheater, I thought 100 was the recreational limit (was a question on my OW exam). 130 you need a deep course. Well I mean you can dive to whatever you want, but I have heard insurance companies won't cover you beyond what you are certified to, and also some boat operators won't take you to dive sites that you aren't certified to.
Edit: looked it up and it says 130ft, guess I shouldn't have got that one wrong on my OW exam then!
Right.
Per PADI, max. depth for OW certified divers is 60 ft. and max depth for AOW certified divers is 130 ft. I happen to have both AOW and Deep certs., but only dive the depth that's needed for the dive.

44m is the deepest, most dives between 15-30, and my most enjoyable dives of late have mostly been in less than 10m...

51m in an educational chamber dive.
41m in the ocean - best dive ever as 3 hammerheads came in to circle the group a few times before moving off and just after that we saw a few bull sharks.
36m at altitude (about 1200m) on training dives

My max is 109'. I would be willing to go down to about 130' for now, but when I'm older and more experienced I'm sure I'll go down deeper.

It was last year and 185 feet. Well, beyond my certification level but I must admit that I loved it just on the treshold where dark blue starts to turn darker
Would I do it again? No, especially without getting certified and having bought my doubles for that depth.

No. Max for AOW is 100'. 130' is after Deep Diver specialty.

New maxes for me this past weekend...139' then 154'...was looking at fish, saw the next ledge..and decided to have a look...but as many have said...all the good stuff (plant/fish life) seems to be shallower..

129' is my deepest. It was on a wreck here. And, I was in class.
