I really had not expected to get hooked on cold water immersion, but the small group of friends that kept it up made it worth the effort. I particularly love the fact that Karin re-named it Ocean Spa Day.
Karin, Jen and I had one final day to enjoy the water and each others company, before I spotted my arch nemesis the next morning.
And of course, Blackie the cat was there to say goodbye as well, guarding his beach and keeping us company.
What I’m excited to try next is free diving. We knew that Jen was a certified scuba instructor, but I had no idea that she was a free diving instructor as well. In just an hour of classroom instruction of breathing technique, I was able to go from 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds of holding my breath. I have to admit this is something that I won’t be pursuing in depth till we’re in warmer water, but I can’t wait to start the breathing practice! All these incredible new skills I had no idea I would pick up this winter.
