“Scuba diving is, um, it’s my passion, it’s my flame, you know. Scuba diving allows me to really feel freedom and the immense pressure of the water. You feel one with the environment. You’re a fish when you scuba dive, truly. You live with the fish. The fish wave “Hi” to you sometimes, but not really. 

I go scuba diving about once every two months, probably. I can’t go much because you gotta do, like, it’s a whole thing to go up to the Puget Sound. Closest spot to scuba dive, etc. 

I love the trombone. There’s no trombone fish, although the fish that I would say looks physically the most like it would play the trombone would be a lingcod. Lingcods, I would say, look like they would play the trombone mainly because of their mouth shape and their large lips. I feel quite connected to lingcod.”
