But there have always been people who have ventured into the deep despite the superstitions. If simple curiosity didn't help us overcome our initial fears and superstitions of the water, greed did. Depending on your beliefs, they were either brave, foolish, or insane.
Existence was elemental under the waves: It was easy to eat or be eaten, live or die - not so different from how divers themselves had to function in the alien world.
The diving community ... is actually a very harsh group. We demand near perfection in skill and form, including the method and style of our dying.
