I'm a zen diver, diving nurtures my soul...or so I've been told
I dive for the relaxation and tranquility it provides my mental state....plus it feels pretty good too

This is pretty much me to a T, especially the underlined.I'm all about the marine life: big or small, fish, invertebrate, plant or (yet to see any while diving but I'm hopeful) other. Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated by things that live in the water... I can't go past a body of open water without having a look to see if there's anything interesting in it; I used to carry my snorkel around in my car just in case I'd have a chance to use it somewhere; and now diving is an even better way to see underwater creatures!
Finally, yes, I have to admit that there is something about just being underwater, completely at home, able to breathe, to maneuver easily and go wherever I like without having to struggle to stay down or worry about returning to the surface for air all the time. It's serene, relaxing, kind of like meditating... and probably the closest I'll get to being a fish, in this lifetime at least!
