After a painstaking and frightening experience getting Open Water certification (at least for me), we finally went on our first scuba diving trip to Cozumel, Mexico. I was a bit nervous of course, but heard many great things about Cozumel diving. It is supposed to be one of the best in the world.

And it sure did not disappoint. Ever ounce of fear, hesitation, anxiety, fear, fear, fear (of death and drowning, did I mention fear?!) disappeared in a flash. This is how scuba diving should be. This is how it should feel. Not in a hood and a 7mm full wetsuit in 58 degree cold ocean water in SoCal. Scuba diving should be in a 2mm shorty in 80 degree warm ocean water with a slight drift. Perfection.

Epiphany: One of the beautiful and life changing things about scuba diving (other than the beautiful sites) is meeting new people. Making new friends, meeting fantastic Dive Masters, hearing fellow divers' stories and experiencing diving with divers of all levels from all over the world. I came to a realization at how wonderful this new experience is. It's really life changing. How many people get to meet and rub shoulders with people from England, Brazil, Alabama or Colorado at once? How lucky are we?! It brings me great joy that this new opportunity has come into our lives!
