It doesn’t take long for this world to become my new reality. The swaying seaweed is reflected on the underside of the water’s surface, which has formed my new sky. It’s a grey, overcast day and when I pop my mask up above, I immediately want to get back under water – it’s brighter and bigger there. When I do stand up, I feel invincible in the wetsuit, able to walk through nettle patches and wade across lochs. Back home, I peel it off like a selkie’s skin.
