"People often compare probing the ocean to probing space. They usually mean to convey the idea of exploring the canyon sides and plains of a still largely unknown world. But blue-water diving is like being in space itself-in that void between stars and planets. Weightless and adrift without a frame of reference in any direction, you have a glimpse of infinity. It is at once beautiful, liberating, and frighteningly impersonal. You have found a way to slip the bonds of Earth and enter a new state of existence for a minute or two at a time." Douglas H. Chadwick
