To dive or not to dive

Huh, what was the question...?

This subject is so gravely serious that I have to address it properly. Sarcasm, humor, a strong dose of cynicism, some facts and a gentle kick in the ass would maybe do the job.

Is it absolutely essential that every aqua-phobic human engages in scuba diving just because this activity is so in?

a) no

b) no

c) no

d) no

 

As the art of swallowing the sword is not exactly for everyone, also scuba diving is not exactly for everyone.

In a nutshell, if you want just to prove something with scuba diving, please, please, please! just find something else.

As I see scuba diving, this shouldn't be an exercise in survival. Flailing arms and legs may represent a freaked out Shiva on amphetamines in a theater, however, we are talking about diving here.

Eyes bigger than a mask somehow do not necessarily represent a person enjoying in a nice, tranquil activity.

Frantically grabbing for non existent handles under the water to climb and escape from terrible wet environment to safety of his or hers cave looks at the best of the times pathetic.

 

On the other hand, if you have a true desire, you would really like to experience something so far reserved only for gods, do it, immerse in the waters.

I enjoy being in the water with seasoned professionals, highly experienced divers or absolute beginners getting their first impressions of scuba diving.

You may be fearless, your anxiety may be elevated – as long as you soak in the beauty of diving I am your best friend.

If your first steps towards levitation are a little hesitant or awkward, I will guide you slowly and gently.

If you glide through the water as a lazy, dreamy piece of stardust, my soul will smile with you.

And from time to time, I will do some solo, meditation diving, for my soul and souls of all my friends :)
