Poll: What about diving do you enjoy most ?

[MaxBottomtime]

I'm not sure what part of diving I enjoy the most ... but for my dive buddies I'm pretty sure it's that I can't talk underwater ...

I've dived with a couple of divers who won't let that stop them. One of them can be heard throughout the dive mumbling away from many feet away. By the end of the dive my neck would be sore from turning to see if there was a problem.

Just being weightless. Still a buzz after all these years.

I can fin out over the ledge and the bottom drops way off, but I don't. It's like slow flying.

This. Anything else is secondary. It's awesome, but still secondary to being weightless. Between the surface and the abyss.

One of my earliest diving experiences was when I finned out over a ledge, exhaled and started sinking into the nothingness. Admittedly, the nothingness ended quite abruptly at some 20m depth, but still. That experience founded my deep fascination with wall diving, and later, night diving. There's something intangible with hanging in the nothingness, just being there. Light above, abyss below.
