Diving is a great way to get away from all the noise, traffic and troubles in our lives. As soon as you descend into the waters you hear nothing but your own breathing underwater.
No talking, no phones ringing, all communication goes via hand signals. When you’re below the surface you completely forget about what’s happening on land, and what keeps you busy. For that hour you are under the water it’s just you and your thoughts.
Snorkelling is a great way to have a glimpse of what’s going on underwater. Though not being able to breath underwater requires you to come back to the surface every time to gasp for air. This limits you, as you cannot stay underwater for too long and so you can’t go too deep either. Scuba diving allows you to move freely underwater and makes you feel you are part of the marine life.
Another great thing is that diving is the closest thing to flying. Hardly having to deal with gravity makes you feel like you’re weightless and flying into the blue.
Wherever you dive, you will always be in great company. It’s great to hear how other people have experienced that dive and you will often find yourself sharing your stories before and after the dive. Many friendships have started during a great diving trip. You all share the same passion for the ocean and feel bonded with one another.
No matter what you do for a living, what your car looks like or what kind of friends you have, diving takes all that away and the modern day judgement that comes with it.
