Well I always liked anything that had danger that could be made safe through science and responsibility as a theme. Not sure why. Its the reason i do chemistry as well, can be lethal but fun.

So there was that element combined with my love of nature. I dont have the body to be able to hike the top of mount everast or anything of that nature, so I picked the depths of the sea.

At first it was scary as hell, which motivated me to do it more as I like challenges I have to overcome. But the overwhelming beauty of the sea and the suprising social nature of the anmimals in it (fish are cuddly in their own way) also sealed the deal for me.

It also helped that iw as spending 6 months out of the year on a carribean island diving before work every morning.

After falling in love I did what i do when i love any difficult persuit, I wanted to be pro at it. So I spent about 2 years of intense training and study to become what is called a "technical" diver (basically means I can dive really deep in the ocean and take down many tanks with me and advanced equipment, deep sea diving) and then even trained for deep-sea cave diving. It was all great and i keep doing it because i love it.
