It may say something about me
That where I happen to feel the most comfortable
And accepted
Is where I can’t breathe without assistance
[And maybe the possible danger is appealing to me too]
It takes a certain level of surrender and trust
And acceptance
That anything could happen
But you can learn so much
from every being in this world
Some of which
are just below the surface.

This makes so much sense actually! I can see how it would give you medium term mental/emotional benefits besides the immediate ones. Like actually training/changing your brain’s response.

It has been interesting… panicking initially underwater when I tried scuba for the first time and then gradually relaxing into it. I actually inhaled water once… coughed into my respirator, and was fine lol. But it wasn’t the most fun experience (I forgot to clear it while we were doing skills). D’oh.
