Do you dive so deep that you need to breathe heliox? I imagine you having that chipmunk voice.

well.... yes but.... it's NOT FUNNY OKAY.

IT'S VERY VERY VERY SERIOUS.

I AM SERIOUS.

I CAN DO GREAT THINGS.

I CAN GO PLACES PEOPLE WILL NEVER FIND YOU.

I AM UNFUNNY. THE EPITOME OF THE OPPOSITE OF HILARITY. THE MOST NON-CUTE THING TO EVER EXIST.

but yes to answer your question. I do.

[all of this was semi-screamed in aforementioned chipmunk voice]

if a whale breaches in the middle of the ocean

does it make a sound?

[evil-evil-pukicho-offical]

this defeats the purpose of the question, whales have ears

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

ooc:

....yeah no you have a point there.

...........the whale could be deaf?.........

[evil-evil-pukicho-offical]

ehh... I feel like you'd do better with some sort of geological underwater event or something of similar sorts

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

shhhhhhhh let the whimsy be scientifically incorrect /silly

Do you know Nemo??

I do! I actually hate to break it to you but all the fame of the big screen has kind of gone to his head, he's a little full of himself but really he's still just a very small fish in a very big pond...

[astronaut-offical]

It's farrrr to noisy down here with all these pesky PEOPLE at the beach...

I hear that the sea of tranquility is lovely to dive in at this time of year?

yours yerning-for-quietness-like-a-fish-out-of-water

@the-scuba-diver-offical

Oh, dear... even though it's very, very quiet up here, I can relate. I could never stand crowds and loud places.

*looks at you*

Well, you have fun and enjoy your time, my darling (#^v^#) ... unless, of course, you want me to accompany you??

*looks away shyly*

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

Well... as long as you're not busy that is... what do you say we take a quick spin to the moon?

**reaches out in a lady-of-the-lake-esque manner to hold the hand of your spacesuit**

[astronaut-offical]

I've always wanted to have a mini cactus.

Why can't I have a mini cactus?!

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

**appears gingerly holding a plant pot**

I present to you...

(drumroll pleeeaaasseee)

the sea-urchin cactus!

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

do u breathe me?

**bemused and rather startled scuba diver emerges from behind a rock**

.....kiinda.

so i hate to break it to you but you're pretty toxic. your narcotic potential is 2.3 times higher than nitrogen so like... it's just another way to die quicker, so i think i'll pass.

howeveerrrr you are inside my drysuit cos you've got better insulative properties than air and can therefore keep me warmer, so go you!! :D

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

Have you read the webcomic Ascend? The protagonist also has a little octopus friend! (And it’s also a beautiful story)

I haven't!! I'll have a look at it later today, thanks for the rec! Orlando says's he's suspicious of the octopus friend but he gets jealous very easily, he's actually rather intruiged he just won't admit it...

[astronaut-offical]

In space, no one will hear you scream...

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

In the ocean, no one will hear you scream either... cept me...

So peaceful... cept for all the screaming...

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

What type of octopus is Orlando?? :3

- @astronaut-offical

Hello dear!! Orlando is a Blue Ringed Octopus and he's very very tiny :3

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

Heyyy I just wanted to say that you're awesome and amazing, and I hope you have a nice day with all your sea buddies :3

awhhhh thank you anon!

I'm having a good day, the water's warm and the sun's out and the oarfish said he'll come up and visit me tonight. I'm currently floating on my back on the surface writing poetry because *whimsical vibes* hehe

I hope you're having a nice day too!!

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

**falls into the sea with all the grace and decorum of a swan in a blender**

.........HIIIII

**stares at you in a rather bemused way**

HIIIIII :3

(are you... GOOD???)

[faeblixxx]

YEH!!! its hot. its much cooler in the wet down here :D

im gonna chill here for a bit 😌

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

You're very welcome to stay down here! I've been spending a lot of time in the twilight levels with the Oarfish because it's slightly unbearable on the surface!

...Plus there's a lot of swimmers and they keep nearly kicking me >:(

[faeblixxx]

thank youuuuuuuu

...

OMD LOOK A FISH

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

ITS A FISHHHHH

**orlando swats the fish who gets lightly concussed**

orlando. jeesus. there's no FUN with you, you've got 3 hearts and I swear to god they're made out of petrified coral.

**pets orlando lovingly**

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

A slightly more down to the seabed post.

For me, scuba diving is like a reset.

That feeling of wanting to sleep for ever and never wake up? Or not even sleep - just cease to exist and vanish into whatever's below you, or be consumed by whatever's inside you, or just die.

Everyone goes on about things that can help. Care in the community. Meditation. Yoga. Long walks and soothing music and food with lots of green ticks on the labels. Friendship and space and people and lack of and inspiration and origional ideas.

Or.

Or I could just vanish. Properly. Find something that makes you feel like you've vanished.

Vanish inside yourself. Vanish below everything. Vanish to a place where you can't see your hand in front of your face and everything's new and different and always shifting. Dance where the lights are out. Sing to a room where no one knows your name. Paint rocks and leave them for people and they'll never know who you are or why you left them.

That feeling of wanting to die, for me, is solved by half an hour of pure nothingness with the weight of an ocean on top of you. For you - it could be anything.

It doesn't have to be some wifty wafty healthy solution. It could just be bringing the world down to your level and letting yourself breathe.

And it's amazing.

Dive in.

[the-scuba-diver-offical]

**drysuit unlocked**

look at me being all professional and grown up and spending all my hard-earned-minimum-wage-cash on scuba gear hehe
