"A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."

I promise my usual running content will resume soon but I wanted to share the video from my cave dive. After getting scuba certified I was invited to go cave diving and wow, what an experience.

Scuba diving definitely took me out of my comfort zone. I actually had this fear of deep water. I'm fine in the pool but going underwater in the ocean really scared me, but what an experience and I do wish I had tried this a lot sooner. 

For those curious about the process to get scuba certified, it is fairly simple.

1. Do an e-learning course online, this takes you about 10 hours. 
2. Lessons in a swimming pool so you can practice everything you learned in the e-learning course. After you pass this then you are ready for your first dive in the ocean. I had my pool lesson in the morning and diving in the afternoon. 
3. Do your open water dive. I did 4 dives of around 30-40 minutes each to pass. 
I did all my training in playa del Carmen, Mexico, which is beautiful😍. 

Once I was open water certified I could go cave diving. 

⌚ I'm using the Garmin Descent MK2S watch which I can use for running and diving. 

Thank you garmin and paditv for this incredible experience and thank to an amazing instructor angel_navarro_moya
