Scuba Diving

“My brain went into full-blown panic mode. I was choking, my heart was racing, and I was convinced this was it. [...] But then something crazy happened. I remembered a breathing technique from a breathwork course I had taken on YogaLap with Michaël Bijker that year. I started hearing his voice inside my head and somehow forced myself to slow down, take deep, controlled breaths through the regulator, and stop panicking. And somehow—I managed to recover. I cleared my mask, got myself together, and finished the dive.”

“When the boat stopped to start diving it was when I got really scared, we had to jump back and not leave the water until we finished the first session of diving! I took my tank on my back, the viewers on my head and my regulator ready on my hand. I sat on the edge of the boat and scared but bravely I jumped into the wáter. First, jump into the ocean OMG! Blue and blue, when suddenly I turned down .. was spectacular, WOW! I could not believe it, everything was amazing, a huge pool with many colored rocks in the sea, sand like gigantic cotton and some fish swimming around.”

“When we touch the sand, I turned up and realized how amazing it was to be in that place at that momento, nothing else mattered. I was so lost that could have been hours swimming and sailing across the ocean. We found a huge number of exotic fish of various sizes and all colors! Corals, beta fish, clown, barracuda, jellyfish, starfish and huge reefs with different fish inside, just like in the movie Nemo. Also turtle slowly sailing towards the sea surface, they were beautiful!”
