Hi Scuba-fans!
I recently got certificated to dive! So Imma here to learn from other experienced divers and hear their stories and whatnot! Also, I am deaf myself so underwater is pretty much the same world I live in on land.
Funny story how I came to love the underwater world- As I was trying to reach the rope that was tied on the boat to the dock, I fell into the water with no life jacket on. I was only 6 years old at that time and I have no idea how to swim at all. As I was splashing around, my family was having a pinic on the dock. As I submerged for few seconds, it was the longest amazing moment in my life. I saw something I never witnessed- the world under the surface of water. I saw beautiful sunrays beaming down to the floor of the lake. Fishes at the length of 1 to 2 feet long were swimming few inches from the floor. Then I surfaced again and saw my mom making a long jump from the dock and dove perfectly (I'd give her a 10 for that!). I submerged again and got another chance to see the world one more time before I got rescued. After that I don't remember what happened. But I remember telling mom I want to do that again. I did not fully understand the meaning and the consequences of drowning. After that, underwater world is where I live as much as I live on land.
See you all around on the forums and such!
