So suddenly going into much deeper waters, is something that terrifies me. I know I said I wanted to come and meet everyone, but the thought of swimming somewhere where my feet can't touch the bottom, nor have enough breath hold to go back to the surface, and yes, I have been practicing swimming and holding breath. Its just something I'm not willing to be casual about. I know my limits in terms of health and abilities, yea, just not something I want to put myself in danger for.
