Scuba Diving Is Unnaturally Satisfying
It’s surreal
As human beings, we really have no business swimming in deep waters, especially for a long period of time. Scientifically, we aren’t built for that. For me personally, I was always that person who could never hold my breath for a long time in the water. After about thirty seconds, I’m scurrying to the surface for air.
The majority of this planet is water. Approximately 70 percent. Human curiosity has allowed us to develop the technology over the years to make it easier for us to explore in the water and attempt to look like the creatures we’re yearning to see: goggles, snorkels, fins, wet and dry suits, regulators, air tanks, weight belts, an inflatable vest, and the scientific research on how to the body can adapt to the cold temperatures and high pressure underwater. To most, this is known as scuba diving.
How Did Scuba Diving Spark My Interest?
I remember as a child watching people dive on TV and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. The three W’s that occurred in my head while watching divers on my television screen:
“Wow! They’re breathing underwater.”
“Woah! Look at all of the cool sea animals they’re swimming with.”
