The Bittersweet Life

Episode 409: Diving into the New Year


Listen Later

New Year—new experiences! At least that's the idea. That's the way we used to do it pre-pandemic anyway. On this first episode of 2022, Katy digs back into her vast personal audio archive to relive what it was like to fulfill a rather adventurous New Year's Resolution several years back.

Hear her as she prepares to go scuba diving in the frigid winter waters of the Pacific Ocean to get her diving certificate (the outside temperature was a biting 32F that day)!

Then, hear her trembling reaction once she got out of the freezing waters, and hear her on a call to her slightly concerned parents. Then go with her as she attempts another dive the next day. Most importantly, find out if Katy manage to do it, or if she gave up. (These are the kind of memories you can capture only if your record yourself on a regular basis like your faithful host!)
