Have you ever noticed? When divers come back from a trip, the first dives you hear about are the deep dives. What makes the deep dives so special? If you're a certified deep diver you already know, don't you?
First, deep dives are spectacular and demanding! You can visit exclusive shipwrecks that are only accessible to deep divers. And, you can explore dive sites that are more pristine because depth protects the reef from rough waters, boat traffic and other damage.
Second, deep dives have more risk - not an unmanageable risk, but one that calls for more care and planning. It makes deep diving challenging, and therefore, rewarding.
Third, deep dives are usually reserved for the more experienced and qualified divers. Not everyone gets to make these dives, so there's some deserved status in being one of those who can.
