I thought I would open this discussion and poll up to see what it is that makes diving appeal to you.

I will start by saying it isn't really so much breathing underwater, which I know for many is a thrill, but it is about the beauty of the marine life. I would love to have a professional camera setup to capture it, but try buying all that on a college student budget!

For guys I know the gear and operating all the gear has it's appeal, and we love that about our guys....especially when we need things fixed around the house!

But I hear time and time again some divers, both men and women will dive in what many consider less than ideal conditions, like 3 meter visibility and nothing but sand.

So what appeals to you, and what appeals to you the most?
