What is it about being underwater that feels so peaceful, so ethereal?
For me, it's a place to calm down. To be quiet.

I love listening to the tiny shrimp crackling their pinchers, the whales singing loudly to each other, the waves crashing on the shore. I love floating on the surface feeling weightless. I love swimming alongside the sea turtles.
How about you? Do you feel at peace underwater? Or surrounded by trees? Where do you calm down in nature?
