The availability of deep water within just a few feet of the high spot. I include in my briefing for Farnsworth that I will be able to tell by where you are in the water (by the location of your bubbles) how deep you are. Then I advise the divers that they will be in deep pucky for exceeding 130 fsw. Invairably, one or two teams will head out deep. It seems to be a macho thing and they seem to delight in having gone deep in spite of your briefing. Usually, they are intent on doing a deep dive before they get to the site and seem to delight in "putting one over on the crew" by exceeding sport limits. In reality, all they are doing is convincing me that I should not take divers to Farnsworth based on the risks involved.
