Reflection
Direction: Answer the following questions.

1. If you will be given the chance to experience the scuba diving activity, are you going make it
or not? Why or why not?

If I will be given the chance to experience the scuba diving activity I will grab it, because
Scuba diving allows you to move freely underwater and makes you feel you are part of the
marine life. The deeper you go, the more you leave your cares behind. Your frenetic lifestyle
is left on the surface, to be replaced by one where everything moves in slow motion.
Another great thing is that diving is the closest thing to flying. Hardly having to deal with
gravity makes you feel like you're weightless and flying into the blue.
