Nancy and I went snorkeling at Oedolgae rock early this morning. The weather has been VERY HOT and VERY HUMID, so a dive into the ocean felt extremely refreshing. We got in around 7:30am before the sun rises too high and becomes corrosive on my sensitive white boy skin. The video above doesn’t do the place justice. There were thousands of tiny fry fish swimming around us the whole time which was really cool. I tried using some weight for the first time today and it made getting down sooo much easier. I’m able to hold my breath for two minutes on land without too much trouble, but underwater I’ve been at about 30 seconds. I haven’t been able to calm myself down enough yet. I’m hoping to get to around one minute and thirty seconds soon in the water. I don’t think it will be too much trouble. The sensation of diving under the water without all the scuba gear is very freeing and liberating. I’m looking forward to a summer and fall of extended bottom times on a single breath.
