“The times you try things that scare you are the times you grow the most.”

Not going to lie, I definitely struggled at first going into these caves. On the outside I may have seemed composed but inside I played the “what if” game everyone plays when approached with something new and scary. “What if I can’t hold my breath long enough?” “What if it’s too dark and I can’t see where I’m going?” “What if I get stuck inside and can’t get out.” “What if in the middle of it, I loose my fin again?” (Yep ‘again’, my first attempt, my fin hit the edge of the cave and it came off in the middle of my dive across the cave). But I knew it was all mental and when I actually went through the caves, it wasn’t as bad as I worked it up to be in my head. It was so much fun!
