A few weeks ago I went swimming in an really clear lake. Just the nicest water I have ever seen, clear as glass. A tree had fallen from the beach and I wanted to sit on it in the water. As I was swimming in its direction I saw the branches under me in the water with green plants on them and that mad me nope out. The feeling of having something under me was too much, I had to turn around.

I wonder if diving would be better for me, because you see directly what’s around you, more than just “feeling” it.
