Gliding across the water’s surface, I was amazed by the creatures swimming beneath me.
Seeing sharks, a spotted manta ray and a green sea turtle, I was giddy with excitement.
It was December 2022, and my husband Chase, then 37, and I were on holiday in Mexico.
A couple at our hotel, Mike and Mindy, had invited us on a diving trip.
I’d dived once before, but wasn’t confident, so while the others explored below the waves I floated peacefully above.
, I smiled, at the brightly coloured fish.
