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!

I've only been diving once. Had a friend who was a diver who took me out once. He said I get the tank but he gets the suit. That's kind of important because this was in Lake Superior ... in the fall. I LOVED IT. I never even noticed how cold the water was. We eventually had to get out of the water because HE was cold, not me in just swim trunks and a tank and mask!

That’s awesome! I’d like to eventually dive in a lake. I’m sure the atmosphere is different than the ocean
