Time travel<br />

“I’ve been cave diving for<br />

less than 10 years, but I’ve<br />

dived all my life. I remember<br />

freediving as a kid, going down<br />

with a net to catch octopus<br />

in the Mediterranean. I like the<br />

challenge of cave diving;<br />

I like doing things that are<br />

complicated and haven’t been<br />

done before. Once I enter<br />

the rabbit hole, I just want to<br />

go further into it. Diving<br />

the underwater rivers feels<br />

like entering a time capsule;<br />

time doesn’t exist, as there<br />

are no outside factors to<br />

disturb you – no daylight, no<br />

noise, just the sound of your<br />

breathing. As we swim through<br />

the water, we enter an<br />

ancient time, experiencing<br />

what no one has for hundreds<br />

and thousands of years.<br />

However, diving is also very<br />

much about time – you have<br />

to keep track of it to survive<br />

and know your limitations.”<br />
