1 . They say scuba diving opens up a world of possibilities, from learning new skills to exploring places beyond your imagination. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to experience all these on a reef dive at the Gili Islands in Indonesia.
After my first dive, I realized that it has far more in common with yoga than it does with extreme sports. On land, switching off your brain can be a struggle. Breathing is something that just happens without thinking. When you’re diving, it’s a totally different ball game. 1 You’re suddenly aware of how your movements connect with each intake of breath.
It’s hard to feel distracted (分神的) when diving. Nature is putting on such a show-stopping performance that your attention is fully absorbed. You’re right there on the stage, in the moment. 2
Something I hadn’t really considered before my first scuba dive was just how human-centric our lives are on land. Everything seems to go around the human experience. But when you dive, it’s a different story entirely. 3 A guest in someone else’s home.
4 Almost everything in front of you is alive and part of a delicate ecosystem of life. Here, clownfish weave among the anemones (海葵) and parrotfish feed on their favorite coral (珊瑚). 5 Nothing is ours to take or touch. Suddenly, your own world feels rather tiny and you realize you’re just part of the world.
| A．All of a sudden, you’re the outsider. |
| B．Everything here has its place and purpose. |
| C．This is what living in the present feels like. |
| D．Rarely do you take the time to stop and just “be”. |
| E．Exploring the undersea world is a humbling experience. |
| F．Your breathing becomes slow, purposeful and rhythmic. |
| G．Your heart races, your breath quickens and logical thinking goes out. |
