SCUBA Diving

There is nothing quite like SCUBA diving, and I have been hooked on it since the first exploratory dive I took!

The two things that drew me to the sport are the quiet and the mindfulness; The peaceful slow pace of marine life is hypnotic, and although diving has been likened to flying, I would describe it as something closer to a state of suspended animation. But what struck me the most during my first dive was how ritualistic the act of breathing felt. Here was this thing that I have been doing mindlessly since I was born, and here I was learning how to do it all over again. Mindfulness also presents itself in being aware of the marine life around me, not only its beauty and majesty but also its intricate systems and economies.

Even though I am a certified rescue diver and have been diving for years, every dive is still a profound reminder of the vastness of the universe and of my humble place in it.

I highly recommend that you check out this documentary!
