Else what's a heaven for?

I resisted scuba for a number of years, because I figured the brightest colors were at the surface so why put on a lot of extra equipment and risk and cost to go any deeper... but when I finally tried it, I found that I really really enjoyed the ability to just hover in the middle of the water, and the ability to move with just a thought (in contrast to snorkeling, where staying under takes effort and then you run out of air). Though I have to admit to never having scuba'ed somewhere that wasn't a tropical paradise, so I don't know if that feeling of weightlessness would be sufficient to entertain me - I'm guessing that the amazing coral & fish are a necessary part of a complete scuba experience for me.
