Seriously, if you haven’t yet learned to dive, you owe it to your future self. Diving is likely the closest I’ll come to visiting another world. Highlight moments in my recreational diving career include:
Hanging onto the top of a bommie in a strong current while a manta ray swims lazily above me at just the right speed to remain stationary and get a 15-minute belly scratch.
Coming out of a cave just as a humpback whale and calf swim past
Being surrounded by a vertical cylinder of barracuda
Oh, and pretty well every dive that included an octopus or cuttlefish.
And while I haven’t dived for 10 years now, the memories I have are still vibrant.

The truth is, we exist within the oceans world. We are living on a #WaterPlanet.

Your comment made me realize that for most people, diving would be considered a luxury vacation pursuit. I had the good fortune to live in Australia for a decade and belong to a university dive club. We’d camp and dive all weekend for under $100. The club had all the gear you needed except for the more personal wetsuit, mask, snorkel and fins. And every year we’d head north from the Sydney area to camp and dive for a week on a coral atoll on the Barrier Reef.
