Why I Stopped Doing My Deep Dives Straight Down After 8 Years On The Job
Had a scary moment at 90 feet in the Gulf back in March when my suit started squeezing hard because I went down way too fast. An old diver named Ray on the boat asked me why I was racing the descent, and I honestly didn't have a good answer. Now I take it slow on the way down and I'm wondering if anyone else picked up this bad habit early on and had to break it.
Ever notice how we rush the hard parts in life just to get them over with, then wonder why they hit us so much harder? Same thing happens with tough talks, big moves, or learning something new, we skip the slow part and pay for it later. Taking your time on the way down is really just the same lesson the water keeps teaching.
