True, they do, but I'm referencing the life of a Scuba Diver in this poem. When Scuba diving, you only really drown if you did something wrong, or stupid. Once, I forgot to keep checking how much air I had left, and I ran out of air about 50 feet below the surface. The only thing that saved me was having a dive buddy who had a decent amount of air in her tank :P Still, it'd difficult to accidentally drown, I think more divers suffocate before they drown
It freaks me out, too, and a lot of human instincts have to be ignored underwater, but if you can master certain techniques (like how to find your regulator or mask effectively, how to keep breathing at a calm pace at all times, etc), it's really fun and very safe
That's beautiful! I'm not scuba certified (yet :P) but I love to snorkel. You perfectly captured the peaceful bliss of being underwater. So good... like so many others.
Well, yeah, if a bloodcrazed shark starts charging you, it's not exactly the idea situation, I'd imagine. Also, there are some super creepy wrecks, supposedly. But, all in all, just exploring coral reefs and swimming among schools of fish is fairly peaceful, especially compared to the surface life
Well, yeah, but if a shark is hungry, and it finds blood, it'll go berserk. That's why spearfishers have to stay away from swimmers and divers, so they don't craze sharks that kill people who did literally nothing
But in that sense, I can argue you're taunting the sharks/disturbing them in a way. That's why you have to be careful with the pressure under water, so you don't get a nosebleed.
Unless a spearfisher decides to visit you, in which case you didn't do anything, and a shark's charging you, anyways, hoping for a bite :P I know of a real life example that I'll tell you of in NaNo mail
Nice. Would it tick you off if-

DeleteJeez, that's scary, I would freak out if that happened to me XD Sure, sounds real safe...

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like this, I'm certified, lol
ReplyDeleteThough, it's not always peaceful down there

DeleteWell that's illogical. Sharks won't attack you unless you bother them...except maybe bull sharks. Those pretty much eat anything in its path lol
