The depths
I love the water. Swimming, diving, skiing, snorkeling. Anything and everything, freedom from gravity and the bounds of the earth. I've only been scuba diving once, and though I thoroughly enjoyed it, I prefer snorkeling and free diving. True free diving, as practiced by professionals, is a difficult and dangerous sport, requiring a lot of preparation and concentration. A single breath is the only equipment required, though a mask and fins definitely help. I've never competed, but I have my own records. Descending to the depths is painful, as is the long slow climb back up, but the journey is always worth it.

#3moo- Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Kim- As with most hobbies, I never seem to get enough practice.
I have never done any diving. That free diving, though, sounds like tremendous fun. I makes it more of a sport than scuba.
I love the water and swimming, too.
I was too claustrophobic to enjoy scuba diving. Something about the mask, the suit, and shark stories... I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it.

Gary- Though I enjoyed scuba, it was far too much of a "production".
JR- My ex-wife hated it. For her, it was looking up to see how far under the water she was.
