I can mention many moments that were unforgettable and revelatory. But the most single revelatory three minutes was the first time I put on scuba gear and dived on a coral reef. You start to breathe through your regulator and descend. To your amazement, you realise that you have entered another dimension! All your life you looked at the surface of the ocean and thought it was a mirror, but now you see it is really a portal.
It’s just the unbelievable fact that you can move in three dimensions.
You’re 30 feet underwater, the ocean is brisk, the slight current is stirring the sand, the colorful fish are swarming, everything seems surreal, especially the fact that you’re breathing underwater.🤿🐠
