Hit my 500th dive in the Gulf last month and it changed my mind about deep water work

I always told myself I'd never go past 120 feet, said it was too risky for my liking. But after logging my 500th dive on a job off the coast of Port Fourchon, Louisiana, I realized I'd already been doing deeper stuff for years without thinking twice. The milestone made me look back at what I'd actually accomplished instead of what I feared. Has anyone else had a number like that sneak up on them and shift their whole view of the trade?

Watch how fast 'I'll never' turns into 'this is just what I do now' in this line of work.

Same here, I told myself I would never do a 14 hour shift but here I am running on coffee and regret at 3 AM. Funny how we just drift past our own limits like that.
