I’m an FOG.
Been diving forever, so I guess I’m an FOD.
I’ve been called a Merman by some.
Being below the surface of churning water and being among some of the most amazing life is what I live for….
Just floating and crossing my arms watching those few bubbles float to the surface.
The peace and quiet I experience takes me to a place almost equivalent to a sensory dep chamber.
But, I hear my breathing, slow and with purpose, bubbles rising, rising.
Sand Tigers circle around watching, observing me and deciding if I am worth evaluating.
He drifts off, gliding effortlessly from my view.
I hover waiting for the next vision to glide past my mask.
