The first time was awful, and ued to be awful for months and months and months. I had not focused on the psychological part of what it would feel like to push yourself down 20, 30 feet,. turn around to look up to see the surface, and see nothing. So that was something that took a long time to get my head around. It didn't help that at this free diving competition i saw a lot of reckless people in reckless things - bloody faces and passed-out people. If you ever look into someone's eyes when they've passed out, you're looking into the true abyss. And so that's something that still gives me the chills.
