MO II: THE SEA DEPTHS​

​​

And if our home is a living being, the sea is its beating heart, which swells when the moon approaches the earth, pulling our blood, the tide inside me.*

You have to get wet, there's no choice but to dive in. The water is always cold. The neoprene allows you to stay under the icy water for longer. To go down, you have to learn what they call decompression. The air that comes out of the tank into your lungs is a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, which is usually the composition of the air you breathe. Normally we expel this nitrogen, but underwater, due to the pressure, it passes into the bloodstream forming bubbles. If you go up too fast, these bubbles can get too big and block the blood supply. So you have to go slowly. With pressure things, it's always better to go slowly. Taking breaks, rests to let the body adjust to the new environment. To get in and out of the new habitat where the organism itself doesn't belong.
