The thing that has surprised me most about diving!

[KOMPRESSOR]

Biggest surprise?

I could breed under water! I didn't have to hold my breath this time. I could stay down and, just stay! Holy cow what a wonderful feeling! It didn't matter one bit my lips turned numb and disappeared from my system of senses, due to watertemps at 35F... Some way to do your first OWD. But what the heck, donnit is donnit, and now I know I can!

The things that surpised me the most is that after all this time I still can learn something new, I am always looking forward to the next dive, and that you can truly find piece and quite under the water.

Biggest Surprise? The rice krispies. Ya know, the sound the reef makes. Sometimes its so loud it hurts the ears! I hate diving with a hood 'cause I can't hear the rice krispies.
Other surprises.
How serene it is. Sometimes diving is like a dream, I get so relaxed and into the moment I swear I have the answers to the worlds problems, but when I get out of the water, it is like waking up from sleep and the dream fades away...
Buddies. I have met some really cool people who are as nutso as me about diving. Thanks ScubaBoard! Really!

What is surprising is the amount of stuff that you see if you just stay put and how little you see when you go looking. Underwater Zen.
