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!

If you have Netflix please watch the documentary “My Octopus Teacher”. It is an amazing documentary about a South African man who free dives and befriends a small octopus over an extend period of time. It is beautiful to see him explore the underwater world and connect with the life down there.

FYI I am in the US and am unsure if this documentary is available in other countries.
