I am amazed myself! I remember sitting there with Tex and saying to each other, "I don't know if I'm gonna make it."

Dude.

And it changes something about the way I think of myself, especially in terms of my disability. That dive instructor did not cut me an inch of slack in the water, but he did on land. Made me start thinking about how I think about myself. For him, it was really about him knowing I could do it in the water, even if I didn't know I could do it.

I wonder how many other things I could do?

Thanks for being my cheerleader and reminding me that I could not fail. And that no matter how deep down you are, you can stop at any time. Although you do need to have a safety stop at 15 ft.

Didn't you feel like you conquered the world when you were done? Crazy. Every diver I know has been giving me the big high five.

Woo hoo!
