cameroots, spaceships, all
that stuff. i was endlessly getting busted in math
class doodling behind the textbook. that was -- the
creativity had to find its outlet somehow.
and an interesting thing happened: the jacques
cousteau
shows actually
got
me very
excited
about
the
fact
that
there
was an alien
world
right
here on earth.
i might not
really
go to
an alien
world
on a spaceship
someday -- that seemed pretty
darn
unlikely.
but that
was a world
i could
really
go to,
right
here
on earth,
that was as rich and exotic as anything that i had
imagined from reading these books.
so,
i
decided
i was going
to
become a scuba diver
at the age of 15.
and the only
problem
with
that
was
that
i lived
in
a little
village
in
canada,
600 miles
from the nearest ocean. but i didnt let that daunt
me. i pestered my father until he finally found a
scuba class in buffalo, new york, right across the
border from where we live. and i actually got
certified in a pool at a ymca in the dead of winter
in buffalo, new york. and i didnt see the ocean, a
real
ocean,
for
another
two
years,
until we moved to
california.
since then, in the intervening 40 years, ive
spent
about
3,000
hours
underwater,
and 500 hours
of
that was in submersibles. and ive learned that that
deep-ocean environment, and even the shallow
oceans,are so rich with amazing life that really is
beyond our imagination. natures imagination is so
boundlesscompared to our own meager human
imagination.
i still,
to this
day,
stand
in
absolute
awe of
what i
see when i
make these
dives.
and my love
affair
with
the ocean is
ongoing,
and just
as strong
as it ever was.
