The only way you're going to get through life, happily, is being yourself.
I love skiing, scuba diving and hang-gliding.
Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. Jacques Cousteau invented scuba diving because he enjoyed exploring caves. The Wright brothers invented flying as a relief from the monotony of their normal business of selling and repairing bicycles.
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
I want to help others 'think first' before diving into a pool or lake to prevent these types of life-changing accidents. I know I'm in a very fortunate minority and hope my story inspires both adults and children to be more careful.
Every time you dive, you hope you'll see something new - some new species. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift, sometimes it doesn't.
Meditation is not a selfish thing. Even though you're diving in and experiencing the Self, you're not closing yourself off from the world. You're strengthening yourself, so that you can be more effective when you go back into the world.
When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
I actually love diving at night; you see a lot of fish then that you don't see in the daytime.
Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.
Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board.
As long as there's a body of water nearby, I'm happy. Pools don't count. I like diving into the ocean and coming out refreshed.
If diving once does not bring you pearls, you need not therefore conclude that the sea is without them.
The meaning of life is found by diving deep, deep within.
Free-diving is all about dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.
The only work I ever turned down was a cable programme called Diving for Excrement.
I like doing things that scare me. I went bungee jumping, but sky diving is just the sickest thing.
Writing books is a nice retreat. There's nothing quite like diving into a book for a few hours. That is a big time vacation.
I ended up spending years on a spiritual quest - diving into the world's great spiritual traditions.
Meditation is not 'going somewhere;' it's diving deep here, this moment.
I miss the ocean. I miss diving into the cold water and coming out a new man. On the road it's hard to get that feeling. Showers are okay, but there's nothing quite like being in the ocean.
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore the careless and the unsteady mind gets no clue to it. But the person who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
The clock is ticking and you're hearing the beat. You stop by a museum shop, sign your name on a scuba-diving sheet, and commit yourself to Saturday mornings in the deep end. You're either losing your mind - or gaining your soul. Life is meant to be an artist date. That's why we were created.
It's tough to know who's better in cliff diving. Like, you see a guy diving off a cliff and you go, Oh, man, a guy diving off a cliff! And then another guy'd dive- Oh, there's another guy diving off a cliff there. But you can't tell who's better, y'know? Like, uh- if you survive at all, hey, you're a great- you're a great cliff diver there. There's only two classifications in cliffdiving. There's, uh- 'Grand Champion' and then, uh- 'Stuff On a Rock.' Very hard to make a comeback in that sport, I'll tell you that.
The number one issue that Ocean Mysteries has opened my eyes to is, no matter where you are, whether you're on a beach in Hawaii, you're diving in the Pacific, you're in a remote archipelago, or you're in the middle of nowhere - I am blown away and sobered and crushed, emotionally crushed, by the amount of marine debris, of garbage, that is now in our ocean.
