UPSIDE DOWN
…the darkness pulls you in, and the pressure threatens to crush every cell in your body. Coldness creeps in, chilling you to the bone. The weight of the world presses against your chest.
You sink deeper, and the darkness thickens with every metre; the pressure tightens its grip, unrelenting.
It tests you, overwhelms you, leaving you scared, disheartened, devastated, and tempted to give in to fear, to give up in despair.
In Trust We Dive - A Poem to Celebrate Freediving Safety Divers
Freediver, the vast ocean draws you in.
Swallowed into the depth where light dims, and heartbeats thunder in the enveloping silence.
Down there, it’s another world - a world where you are utterly alone.
