yesterday, i decided to take a much needed day off. why? first, i
needed to get into the underwater world i love, second, i needed to
exercise and free diving is the best, and last, i wanted dinner.
so kyle, james, and i headed out to our secret side of the island where
the refrigerator is wide open. we did mostly blue water diving in the
100′ plus depth. besides the big tiger shark that came to check out the
boat, everything went fine. kyle got a huge UKU, i got a big AWA’AWA
and other assorted fish. we dove from 8 am to 4 pm.
on my first few dives, i just wanted to go as deep as possible. sinking
into the deep blue is such an awesome feeling. i kept on going down and
down and as i was approaching the bottom. it felt so good but i knew i
should turn around and head back up. i did a lot of 70′ dives and when
i came up, i felt energetic. before, i’d feel dizzy or feel like
throwing up after doing deep dives but now, things are different. i
just feel like my mind is at a place where i want it to be. it feels
like i can keep on going down and down but don’t want to push myself too
much because i don’t want to die yet. the day i can drop to 100′ (30
meters) comfortably is where i want to be. so for now, i’ll keep on
challenging my body and mind and see where it takes me. just by free
diving all day, my mind is reset, strong, and ready for anything.
thanks kyle for making sure i came back up, and thanks james for always
being there when i come up looking for you. after you seen that tiger
shark, it felt scary holding onto bloody fish.
**after i came in from my dive, i looked at my phone. 19 missed calls
and 38 emails. welcome back to reality.
