After another 6 dives

First weekend of July I went for another 3 day diving trip. This time I wanted to maximize number of dives and end up with 6 of them. 4 of them happened in Puerto Galera but 2 took place next to Verde Island, which is much more deserted and wild. I could feel that. The first dive there was one of the best dives I had in my life. Why? Difficult to say, it had that something I love about diving.

This dive reminded me of the character of Jacques Mayol from Big Blue (also real man). I always thought that I can completely understand him but during this dive I realized that I didn’t because there was another bottom that I could go beyond only being deep down there, feeling this majesty, calmness, space like atmosphere and this faint scent of fear of the unknown. Or maybe I just got high with nitrogen, since this was my deepest dive ever – 45 m ;-)

Next day I went even deeper to 52 meters – decompression dive. Given that limit for recreational diving is 40 meters and no deco dives at all, I don’t think I’ll go any deeper with regular compressed air in my tank. So next step would be going for tech diving, but this is another story I guess.
