Diving has changed my life...

Though diving and hunting (just to see - nothing more) for white tipped hammerheads going to feed at 4am - you start to realize that you're kind of pushing the limits of 'normal' and bordering on 'stupid'. Your hovering at 80-90' over the wall, 4500' below you, and watching the dive computer trying to push your time under, all the while being 20-50' from the crack in the coral wall where the sharks swim through, and controlling your bubbles so your not marking your location... rebreathers would have been a better idea at the time!!!!

I don't dive often anymore but after hundreds and hundreds of dives (basically lost count), and tonnes of certs; i count myself lucky and fortunate to have seen and done the things i did.

I wish your daugher has her own experiences that last a lifetime.
