Have you ever imagined what it’s like to be 15 metres below sea level without an oxygen tank and to have three bull sharks slowly circling in the deep blue 20 metres beneath you? Well, I experienced exactly that in the middle of the Sea of Cortez, off Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.
It was blissful… But that is the end point of my story. To be able to calmly experience the majesty of those moments underwater required a personal journey, which commenced the previous week in northern California.
