Scuba Diving Day

After work I went scuba diving. It was my 8th open water dive. Nothing spectacular, but still nice. The water was so warm that I didn't even use gloves. With 45 minutes, it was the longest dive I've ever had. Visibility was bad in some places, and on the way back my buddy Manuela and I got lost. Well, you cannot actually get lost in a quarry pond, but we didn't get up where we thought we would.
The way home was way more spectacular: I drove with a guy called Benjamin. He was very tired, and he had this crazy idea that adrenalin might wake him up. So he drove mindbogglingly fast. Kristine told me that Jeepney drivers are maniacs, but I'm not sure if they go 160 km/h (100 mph) when the speed limit is 70 (45). Usually I would have been terrified, grabbed the seat and shouted whenever any other car comes closer. But due to my recent sky diving experience, I was totally relaxed, enjoyed the ride and grinningly thought to myself that I've had more intense acceleration experiences before.
