The unexpected underwater always gives my heart a jump start. Like Sea lions appearing out of nowwhere at about mach five. When I start to feel overwhelmed I focus on something small and close or close my eyes for a minute.

Here we lose daylight at about 250ftsw. Usually to see Bullsharks you have to wait til winter when they move into "shallower" waters...But at 250' you can see them year around. And let me tell ya...to see one of those pass by at close range at that depth, gets the spidey-sense a tingling! ;-)

Well it's good to hear that I'm not being a weenie about it, can't wait for the first experience. I remember one time I was just free diving out in Lake Mead (where it's possible to find ANYTHING) in about 20-25ft and could barely see my hand in front of me. I was in a gulley between two cliffs and swimming around ran right into a fully erect canvas tent. No big deal but it sent me up for air in a hurry. I salvaged around for some rope I found on shore and jumped back in. Who knows what you'll find inside a tent in Lake Mead. Turned out to be just an old empty canvas tent.
