LOL!!!

Especially with oxygen...
 
For me once I'm in the water the world just goes on hold and I have fun. To be honest I don't care how deep it is, to be in the water is all I need. Sometimes just swimming is enough, but diving is more fun.
 
So true... A couple years ago, in Cozumel, I had the morning from Hell. It started with me falling down the steps of the Casa Del Mar hotel. It only got worse from there. That day, I was Murphy's "special friend." Everything that could possibly go wrong, did. My hose developed a leak, blew the O-ring on a tank, lost a brand new mask on the first dive, and so forth and so on... The minute I slipped beneath the surface, it all got left behind...

The bubbling of my reg, the crackle of the brine, and drifting weightlessly along on the current... Ahhhhhhhhh..... :)
 
did you have your mask on your forhead Frank? :D
 
Nope. We were diving the little dinky boats, and had to hand our gear up at the end of the dive. I unbuckled my chest strap, buckled my mask into it, and was floating around, waiting for my turn. When it came time to hand my gear up, without even thinking about it, I popped the chest strap and cummerbund and handed my BC up. Hasta-la-bye-bye, Mask!! *Whaaaaa!!*
 
I find being in and around the ocean to be very cathartic. I feel drawn to it, and it seems to represent life and freedom, theres something very healing about it.

I spend alot of time in a cubicle, so these days I see my 10 days at, in and around the ocean as my reprive for the six months in the "box"
