Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I dive as much as I can.
I definitely try to live my life in a very fearless manner, but there are no other sports that you jump from a three-story building and land on your hands! Diving is a lot like life. You just have to trust in what you know and allow it to happen.
I've been a scuba diver since I was 16 and I think that was one of the reasons they chose me.
So many of the pleasures of recreational scuba diving don't exist for the deep wreck diver. It's not beautiful scenery for the most part; in fact, it's usually very dark. It's physically burdensome. These guys carry almost two hundred pounds of equipment, and should any of that equipment fail, they risk death.
I want to do my hard dives really well, I want to see what my true potential in this sport really is. I want to grasp that.
I love scuba diving, and I've been up and down the Amazon.
I know it's odd. But when I was getting scuba certified, it was explained very early on that you never get to just strap on a tank and jump into the ocean. You have to know how deep you're going, and the deeper you go, the less amount of time you stay down there - and it takes longer to get to the surface.
I look really good in a scuba suit.
Once I dive in, I dive in all the way.
The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.
