Take me Under the Sea
What is so special about the ocean and scuba diving in its vast depths? Sometimes you never know what you are getting into when you go diving in the ocean but one thing is for sure it is beautiful.. As a young girl I always loved the ocean my favorite movie was by Disney called “The Little Mermaid”. I always wanted to be a mermaid living freely in the ocean and exploring all of its beauties. I guess that is where my love of the ocean began. So what choice did I have but to learn how to scuba dive? Scuba diving became the only way that I was even remotely close to being a part of the ocean in a way that I truly wanted to. Most people who go to the beach or the ocean just get a very small portion of the beauty that is massive force of nature but for me it wasn’t enough. Each person can look into the ocean while snorkeling and get their fill or some prefer scuba diving getting a deeper less seen view of nature. To me when I think of scuba diving I see a vast unpredictable uncontrolled power that I am able to become one with. Everything changes day to day when you dive, one can dive the same spot two different days and it can be completely different. The true beauty of this part of nature that is usually unchanged by human intervention. While living in Hawaii I was able to experience this nature from many different angles but my favorite was in the ocean scuba diving. There are so many places to explore and things to find while you are under water. When you are scuba diving there is something calming about being 80 feet underwater and just gliding above the reefs and the many little fishes below. I know most people would think I was crazy thinking 80 feet down with nothing but a scuba tank with limited air to breath would be calming but it is quiet and very relaxing. The fish swimming without a care and the beautiful sloping reefs are something that not everyone is able to experience. To take the time to be in a world that you have no control over is something that many experience. If it were up to me I would recommend that everyone learns how to scuba dive so that they can experience the beauty of the ocean as well as a quiet break from the everyday noise above the sea.
