Baptism itself can go from the sprinkle to the full dunk in the Catholic church. I had a full immersion Baptism as an adult, and we do the dunk with the babies too (just the baby's bottom gets dunked). Baptists usually go for the full immersion. Other Christians YMMV.

My parents didn't baptize me or my brother because they both came from sects that did adult baptism. They felt it should be my choice, and I'm actually grateful to them for that. It made things that much more special for me when I did decide to get baptized.
Protestants who place a big emphasis on baptism (fundamentalists mostly, especially Baptists) make a big deal of repeated baptism. They host big baptismal events to reconnect with their faith. Pilgrimages to the River Jordon are especially popular.
