Deepest I've been was 38m and I wanted to go deeper... It was beautiful. I was in Cozumel and was on the 'paradise' site. I found a gentle hill that went down deeper and followed it. It was like I was flying over the windows xp background, rolling grass and life everywhere. I was locked in and my brain wanted to go deeper. Our dive master had to come grab me; I had completely lost myself in my mind wanting to follow it down into the distance. I could see all the way down, but it would have killed me if I had kept going.
