It was a cold, early morning in Michigan, with my dad and kenny right by my side. The water was frigid, and visibility was so bad you could barely see an arm's length ahead. Drop after drop, we found almost nothing with endless murk. But then, out of nowhere , the perfect opprotunity appeared, and there was no way I was letting that slip by. At first i wasn't even sure i'd landed it because the water was so dirty, but I was more than happy to be proven wrong. In the end, the dive was absolutely worth braving the cold and pushing through the poor conditions, it was an unforgettable experiance all around.
