The other week I got a taxi from Bishops Stortford train station back to school after spending the day in Cambridge at Anglia Ruskin's open day. I thought it'd just be another regular journey where I tell the cab driver where I'm from and all that, but it wasn't. Before I had gotten in the taxi the driver had been revising for his diving exam. I asked him how long he had been diving and where he'd been to.
Then the conversation got quite philosophical. He started telling me how he thinks that there are three worlds; at first I thought he was a little mad but I heard him out. He explained that there's the underwater world, there's our world and then there's space. He said that as much as he'd love to go to space that really isn't possible so he likes going diving. He said that when he goes diving, it's like sleeping for 45 minutes as its as if he was dreaming.
Underwater is a different world; he likes the idea of just being able to get a glimpse of the underwater world as you can only really dive for 45 minutes to an hour. The underwater world is huge, if you were to explore it, it would be difficult to choose where to start. The world we live in has too many problems; granted it does have its beauty but the idea of being able to just get away for a while, go underwater and explore something so incredible and peaceful, is incredible.
I would love to go on a diving trip for a week or so and do some underwater photography shoots, capture the weird and wonderful.
