@ggerbasi: Just joking 🤣 I’ve been a certified diver since I was 14 years old but I was initiated to diving even before that because my dad was a diver. He took my sister snorkelling and made us try SASY (Supplied Air Snorkelling for Youths) when we went on vacation. As soon as I was old enough to dive, I took the classes and got my PADI certification, I just couldn’t wait to be in the water. I mean… how cool is it to be able to breathe underwater for up to an hour? I recently started my journey into the world of freediving and so far, it’s been magical. Freediving offers more opportunities to see marine life and it’s a great complement to scuba diving. I like freediving because it’s the most direct and intimate way to connect with the ocean. Freediving is all about letting go, all the distractions of life are left at the surface. As soon as I get in the water, all the mental garbage, all the internal chatter, all that stuff goes away. It’s like going wandering around the universe. I enter the ocean in peace with myself and surroundings and I almost forget about everything else. I feel like I can fly and like the ocean is giving me a big hug. I can watch fishes dance under the coral or watch the sun from the other side of the world. And when my body isn’t underwater, my mind certainly is. I always say that I’m an Ocean Child because we’re more closely connected to the ocean than most people would ever suspect. We’re born of the ocean. We’re water babies. We swam before we could walk or breathe but then we forgot.
