Back country hiking and backpacking is my second great love. That's another pinnacle to reach for.

I am - I stayed above 40 feet on my first, and 60 on my second and was very conservative with my gas management and dive plans.
I felt like a rank amateur when I first submerged - it was very reminiscent of my very first open water dive. I almost quit before submerging - the thought "I can't do this" kept intruding, but I overcame it.
