Open Water

Last night I watched Open Water. The movie actually came out right before Bryan and I went to Costa Rica. We didn't want to watch it before we left since a big chunk of our vacation was scuba diving.

I was on pins and needles the whole time I was watching. It may not be as exciting for the non-scuba divers, but they had an accurate depiction of what it's like to be under water.....the sounds, the breathing, the views. I actually pictured myself on that dive with them.

It reminded me of the time that we went to the Bahamas. We did a shark dive. I was pretty freaked out about that but at the same time so very excited. Then the worse thing happened. The night before, I started spotting from my period. Shit! Do I go? Crazy as it seems, I decided to go.

Then when we're on the boat on the way to the dive, Bryan picks a scab. Man, we were just setting ourselves up to be shark bait.

It was a truly amazing experience as 6-8 reef sharks swam around us. But each time one came really close to me, I got really nervous.

After watching that movie, I think my shark diving days are over.
