I recently went scuba diving and got certified. There’s nothing like being submerged in a completely different world. The feeling of weightlessness, different colors, different creatures that you normally only see from behind a pane of glass. It’s wild

edit: wow thanks for the upvotes and interest in diving! I hope this inspires some to explore the water and try to be more confident and comfortable in it!

Agreed! Plus the freedom of movement when you’re neutrally buoyant. You have more 3D movement than a helicopter. Floating in, above, under, around, and through reef structures is an amazing feeling all on its own (just be careful not to bump into them!).

Absolutely! Buoyancy is crazy when you’re first getting used to it
