I finally, finally get why people love diving. I've had my open water certification for ages, but it was more because I love being in the water than any burning need to dive. I think it's because I've only ever seen reefs that are incredibly stressed - by tourism, overfishing, pollution, climate change (and Ive dived on the Great Barrier Reef). But yesterday was so magical - so many fish, so many colours, a rich explosion of wild nature that was intoxicating. I had this illustration in my head even as I was diving - and it's something I never would have imagined had it not need for that experience. 🐠🐙🐳
