As I was diving recently at the Surin Islands in Thailand, it struck me that scuba diving mirrors the journey of human life in quiet, profound ways. Each stage of a dive offers its own lessons, reminding us of where we have come from and how we move forward. A responsible diver begins to ascend to shallower depths, aware that lingering too long in the deep carries risks. Life, like diving, is a journey of depth, wonder and eventual ascent – and every stage deserves to be lived with intention.
