LEARN to Deep Dive properly and safely: Many divers already dive beyond there trained deep limit, so does this mean that you don't need to be training? No...you need to learn all safety procedures, the ins and outs of diving deep. For some reason we are lured to dive deep and as divers we are adventurous people.

Don't Learn the Hard Way:
Ask yourself, when was the last time you truly did a Pre-Dive Safety Check??? PADI's safety check is Begin (BCD) Check adjustment, operation, low pressure connection, tank firm in band. With (Weights) Check for proper weight, type of quick release system & clear to be released, belts with right hand release. Review (Releases) Be familiar with buddy's releases and how they work, check to make sure there secure. And (Air) Check for ample air for both of you, valve is open, regulator & alternate works properly & where to find it & how each other's works. Friend (Final OK) Give each other final inspection looking for any out of place equipment. So don't learn the hard way, no matter how many dives you have done, no matter how experienced you are, don't feel that you should not complete one with you and your buddy.
