My heart was beating a little fast as I hastily checked my regulator for good air. I was going to need it in about 3 seconds after I took a giant stride off the back of the dive boat and plunged into the gorgeous blue water around Ko Haa. In my head, I was praying for safety (and a whale shark) 
It has been a long time since I did something that my brain felt was so stupid that it made my legs wobble. As I stood on the edge of the cliff, I could feel the long lost adrenaline hit my bloodstream, my brain’s way of hedging its bets to stay alive in case my body got injured and I needed a boost. It was a welcomed feeling, and it reminded me just how much I need that feeling in my life.
Yes – I need to work on my form!
My Columbian friend and fellow B&A member Simon wrote an awesome story with pics about our near-disastrous Thisslegorm dive. We almost gave the “Red Sea” a new meaning!
Thanks Simon!
