A while back I did a dive in Canada which required us to dive pretty deep - we were looking for sixgill sharks. Anyway, I started feeling a little anxious at the deepest part of the dive, a depth I had never actually been to. What I realized is that the deeper you go the more your surroundings change, and what bothered me was the fact that the 1st stage seemed much louder than normal. I realized pretty quickly that my anxiety was misplaced and I enjoyed the rest of the dive. I guess my question is have you ever been to that depth, and were you comfortable and familiar with the surroundings?
