In a way the brevity of the dive is what makes the experience so special to me. Each time I go back down I have the sense that every moment counts, I need to be connected to the experience, and my senses take in every detail. I'm truly in it. The effort, the temperance, the calming of my nerves, the focus on the task is all so fulfilling and worth it.

I'm not saying scuba can't be the same for someone. For me, though, this is how I connect with my environment and feel truly present. It's wonderful. I couldn't achieve it with scuba.
