So what takes your breath away...?

[denisegg]

Jumping off the boat? Gliding down to the wreck? Reaching a 110ft on a night dive on a bridge span and finding octopi between the crevices? Turning upside down in sidemount and gliding in a cave looking at the bubbles you create on the formations above?

Yes, getting bombarded by Steller sea lions, finding a hidey hole full of lobsters, sunsets on the dive site when the water is flat calm and the stars are too numbers to distinguish apart.

Sounds heavenly..

Honestly?

Discovering at 50 years of age that you can breathe underwater. Cold, warm, low or high vis, quarry, ocean, river, lake, it's all the same to me. I am amazed the whole time I am under.

Those minor details like wrecks or corals or fish... they're just details

Ascending too fast...?

In dedication to Rhone Man..let something take your breath away...then breathe... before you ascend..(ummmm just in case this was not drilled into your head when you took intro OW)

Diving in visibility more than 5 meters

Finding a nudibranch that I have never seen before

Surfacing in near darkness after a night dive with little to no wind, the stillness of being outside at night and the fantastic clear starry sky above my head.

R..

 

[Linedog]

Surfacing after a solo night dive to the stillness of a summer eve, the distant lights of the city glisten on the mirror smooth water as you gaze at the space needle. Yet all I see pales in comparison to what I witnessed just a few feet below the surface.

I have never seen anything like that, but I'm sure a shark, a wreck (not a little boat in a lake) or anything big could take my breath away. On the other hand I think everything underwater is amazing, isn't it? I love to watch my bubbles ascending to the surface...
