This Diver Was Nearly Attacked By a Whale, Until She Realized What Was Wrong...

Which Way Is Up?

One diver recalls a trip they took in Mexico and attempted cave diving for the first time. They said they'd never felt so claustrophobic in their lives. When you dive in a tight space, all of the bubbles gather on top of the cave and look reflective, making it difficult to tell which way is up. It's enough to throw off anyone's vertigo and induce panic, and you have to take a second to breathe and watch which way the bubbles go in order to right yourself.
