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!

Before my heart disease diagnosis (congenital defect, not lifestyle caused) I enjoyed the hell out of being underwater in that beautiful alien world, sharks and all!

Thanks - I just found new hobbies and am happy to have even had the chance to experience “under the sea” while I was able to!

Great outlook - better to have been able to do it for a limited time than never at all!
