Like i said its a personal choice and so are a lot of things its up to 
individual people to set their own limits.  if certain individuals are  
unable to do this with common sence then the world will learn from their 
mistakes.  Yes there are alot of people that die deep on air do they 
consider the risk of deep air diving acceptable yes apparently.  their 
problem.  Records were made to be broken and deep air is included and im 
sure that the record deep air depth will continue to be moved deeper and 
deeper in the future and the record holders will survive the losers 
wont.  hey if a record is worth risking your life (personal 
viewpoint)then its up to you.  The world isnt a perfect place and people 
will continue to do what they want no matter what so have an open mind 
take it all in and learn.  the best thing you can learn is how to stay 
alive and i would rather learn that fron someone elses mistake rather 
than my own(selfish little me)

As for the commercial diving most of it is done in swiftwater as opposed 
to deep water.   diving in swift water in zero vis is something you 
should try learn from experience.  I don't claim to be an expert 
commercial diver and dont want to be i do it for fun when i have the 
opportunity(doing hard manual labour underwater for profit for the rest 
of my life isn't one of my goals.)
as for the SAR diving yes i do SAR dive and i take that very seriously .  
If you ever want to talk SAR civily I would be more than happy to.  And 
yes it is all freshwater(lakes and swiftwater Including ICE)

Safe diving
