Some people are just not that scared of the deep sea, we have a little bit different fears just as we have different tastes, I'm not very brave but honestly I would do that dive even for free. But I would never in my life jump with a parachute or play with a domesticated bear. I'm watching this and my brain is like: that looks very peaceful (xD)

[@calebday6988]

@@arcticflower1760 idk, the deep abyss terrifies me. im so excited to go skydiving next month at 23 for my first time. i completely understand the bear situation lmao, but i see it as just as these sat divers rely on their equipment for survival to work in these conditions, its okay for then to 100% rely in it. thats bc their equipment is state if the art & reliable, hell even their backups have backups. same for sky diving, not many failures due to the state of the art equipment & reliability as well. i love diving for fun around SHALLOW reefs (

In sabnautica: you can dive 1km underwater with just seaglide, rebreather and three O2 tanks. Irl: to dive 100m deep you'll have to use heliox, pressured chamber, lots of equipment and decompress for several days afterwards.
