What are the reasons that you took up diving, and what reasons have kept you diving?
When I think about it, I find that I have had many different reasons over the years. My reasons have continually changed and evolved over time.
It started with adventure and exploration. I wanted to see what was down there. I went through a companionship phase, where it was something to do with new friends. I went through a learning phase when I got into tech diving.
Eventually I got to a simple enjoyment phase, where I was diving just for the enjoyment of being in the water. The tech diving is gone now. I just want to have fun like the sea lions that playfully dash about in the water. It almost doesn't matter if I'm in Hawaii with mantas or in a clear lake with little to see but rocks and sand. As long as I can see what's around me for spacial awareness, I'm happy swimming and experiencing the water.
I'm still in that phase. For whatever reasons, I seem to find enjoyment with the feeling of the water flowing past me and experiencing that feeling of flight underwater.
