Not going too far in the memory lane, let me just take you to the experience I got in Thailand last year. There are a lot of things we plan to do in our lives and as a traveller one also plans the places according to their special adventurous activities.

“We dive not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”  I happened to see this line somewhere on Facebook. This line actually made me think about Scuba diving. I being a traveller myself always used the same line with ‘travel‘ instead of ‘dive‘. SCUBA diving is sensual. The thought to breathe underwater is one of the most fascinating and peculiar sensations imaginable. So did not take much time to backpack to our next destination.

Initially, I(Sakshi) was afraid of water but I always wanted to challenge myself and thus, I learned swimming last year and after that planned to visit Thailand, a place which is famous for its beaches, it surely is one of the most visited places because of the water sports.

I, too, did parasailing, jet ski, banana ride, snorkeling and my personal favourite, Scuba Diving. I chose Phuket’s Koh Phi Phi Island to turn my this wish into reality. Although, it is not required fo you to learn swimming to do that but it just becomes a plus point if you are looking for other water activities.

Although, I realised that I was not fully overcame my fear of water and that is why, instead of jumping from the boat directly, I chose to enter the waters from the shore (less fearful).

Another difficulty that I faced was, I easily forgot the signs taught by the professional diver once i was under the water.

It was my first time and believe me that I was afraid to my bones, but sometimes it’s always the first time when you try it for the first time if you know what I mean and everyone wants their first to be perfect.

I knew it might be my only chance to take a dive on this particular island and maybe I will never visit this place again (at least not in the coming few years), so I took the chance finally.

Being the beginner, I dived 50 ft. deep and believe me, it really was a must experience. Sometimes, the only depths you are afraid of are present in your head. I dived and though it wasn’t a great dive, I enjoyed it to the core of my heart.

However, it depends on the person how well they can manage under the water as the under water pressure increases after 30 feet. Also, one of the important rules is to have a consistent breathing pattern (small and steady breathing).

For those, who have fears to endeavour, I would like to tell them please jot it all down. Make a bucket list out of those fears and after all this is over, go conquer them. You will truly love them after that.

Thank you for reading.
Good luck.❤️
