I used to.
I did deeper (44m) when RD, this was UK not some wimpy warm water, high vis site.
Deco on PADI qualifications.
Nitrox and then, when qualified, richer mixes than on the ticket.
Trimix before the normoxic course and a hypoxic mix before full trimix.
I'm also diving an oxygen rebreather I have no training for what so ever.
And yet none of this was bravado but rather putting plans in to be able to go and see the things I wanted to see. I think I am a very cowardly person. So much of this was to reduce the dangers of my personal limitations.
I don't think limits will be streched again. My current qualifications permit things that scare the living daylights out of me.
