Well, did you plan your dive, or did someone else? Perhaps is was a surch and rekovery dive? >

Like L Kunze says, I do not think that this questions has much to offer.
We can all brag about how deep we have been and how deep we plan to go. Big Deal. Does this make you a better diver? Or is it bragging rights at the local pub?

If you read through the posts in this thread, I don't read any bragging at all. This topic was meant to generate some postings and some dialog between divers which it has done. Like I said in an earlier posting, My deepest dive to date was my biggest accomplishment in my dive career, I did a lot of training and spent a lot of time in the water. Why do people automatically assume that when you start talking about deeper diving you are bragging? I have been to 219' to me that was a big deal because it was a dive that I will never forget to others it is nothing and doesn't mean anything. But once again I worked hard to get there so it was a big deal for me. Some other divers are proud to have registered a 60' dive in Grand Cayman or where ever. For me it was fun to read about where people did their deepest dive. It has nothing to do with bragging, for most divers their deepest dive is one they always remember. For some deep diving is a way of life and they like to talk about it. But like I said earlier whenever you tell someone that your a diver what is the first thing they ask you, "How deep do you go?" There is nothing wrong with my question, just don't read so much into it... Why don't you just answer the question and join in on the fun...

And it brought a whole new area of diving to me, a new diver. I always thought 130' wasn't that much for someone with a lot of the higher up/more technical certifications. Its nice to know that after I finish a few certifications, I will have more waiting. Also, I never really thought of this as a bragging thread. Its cool to know how far people have gone and what they have accomplished. I certainly do not see it as a challenge.

I am working my way to the goal of wreck diving in the great lakes. I have trained to get to where I am at and getting comfortable at this leval then I will go on to deco and maby trimix to be prepaired for a trip to do some wreck dives that push the rec limits. not because I want to push the limmits but because I want to see the wrecks.
nobody dives 200 feet down in blue water just to get to a greater depth...(except maby freedivers) the rest of us want to get to somthing
