    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    One water sport I would love to try in the future is scuba diving. The idea of exploring the underwater fascinates me as it offers a unique opportunity to witness marine life up close. I imagine swimming among vibrant coral reefs and seeing colorful fish in their natural habitat. Scuba diving not only seems like an exciting adventure but it also provides a sense of serenity in connection with nature. I have heard that it's a very peaceful experience, almost meditative, as you float weightlessly in the water. I am drawn to it because it combines the thrill of exploration with calmness of being immersed in the ocean. I plan to take a certification course soon and I am eager to experience this incredible sport.

    A water sport which I would like to try in the future is scuba diving. I have watched many videos and pictures of people trying it and it really fascinates me. Although it seems very peaceful under the water, it will be really adventurous. I want to try this sport in Andaman Nicobar Island, especially in the Havelock Island which is also known for its crystal clear water. Some of my friends visited it last year and they told me that it is very beautiful and you will get to see variety of different species of fishes, turtles and also small sharks. The idea of going under the water and seeing the fishes in their own natural habitat is itself magical. I really want to try this sport because I am a really comfortable person. I want to get out of my comfort zone and I want to try something which is extremely out of the box and it will also give me a sense of confidence. So if I really try this, looking back at time, it will really make me feel like something I have done which is really bold. And the idea, the entire idea of it, like going underwater, floating with the fishes, seeing the beautiful coral reefs and clean water is tremendously soothing, peaceful and quite adventurous.

    Hello everyone, today I will be talking about scuba diving which is something I really wish to enjoy in the future. I am not sure if we can classify scuba diving as a sport or will it count as an adventure sport, but regardless of the fact it is a water activity which I am very fond of and I would surely like to enjoy it in the future. What has captivated me the most for trying this is the awesome views you get when you are doing this activity. It exposes us to a whole another realm of our beautiful earth where we get to see many new types of fish, underwater plants, the vibrancy in color which is not available anywhere else. Apart from that, underwater you are cut off from light, we are cut off from the sounds of other organisms as you are fully immersed in the underwater experience and I feel that adds a whole another layer to the activity. If possible I would like to try scuba diving near the Andamans because I have seen there are many good spots for doing this activity there and some of my friends and colleagues who have also been there have shared excellent photos or videos of their scuba diving activities. I have also seen that many of the Nemo fish or clown fish is found at this spot and that has always been a lifelong fascination for me. So yeah, that's it.

    One sport that I would love to try in the future is scuba diving. So there is an island called Phi Phi in Thailand where scuba diving is quite famous. Every now and then whenever someone close to me goes there they have tried scuba diving and they describe it as their lifetime experience. One of the first steps for scuba diving is learning how to swim. Since I have been a swimmer since my childhood it would be quite easier for me to learn scuba diving as first part is already done for me. The main reason why I want to pursue this sport is to see and feel the world beneath the water. How beautiful the sea could be, how quiet and calm the sea is once you go under the sea and try to explore it. I have heard that one encounters many many aquatic animals that they haven't heard about. They see many beautiful plants that flourish beautifully and are covered with greenery on the beds of the sea. One more reason I find scuba diving very interesting is because it gives me a thrill to perform such things. It gives me a thrill that I will have to try something new and will be a lifetime experience for sure. Overall I am quite excited and waiting for my chance to give a try on this sport. Thank you.

    okay so when I was a kid I used to fear water a lot I visited Goa which is one of the most one of the only places in India with beaches as a child and I think I was five or six years old so I did a few water sports back then but as I was a child I wasn't allowed to do a lot but I still went and went for a fish scene on a boat we had to wear some life jackets and we got to see whales and dolphins another thing that I was allowed to do was snorkeling on the shallow side of the beach water as I was too young to actually go on the deeper edge of the water my fear for water increased ever since I found out that my aunt got stung by a puffer fish eventually I think I understood that part of visiting beaches so I think whenever I visit some place with beautiful locations just Spain or Maldives I would love to explore the ocean and go scuba diving another thing that's holding me back is I am a little scared of heights but I think I wouldn't mind going paragliding

    So the favourite activity of water sports that I would like to do in the future would be scuba diving, although I am a pretty good swimmer but I think scuba diving does take it to the next level with exploring the underground water world and being able to witness all the beautiful and diverse categories of marine animals and also I think it would be a great idea to take along my friends for this trip and I assume that I would be mostly heading to the Maldives to do this because it has such clean waters and such great flora and fauna that the entire experience is so enriching and I think scuba diving would definitely be one of the bucket lists that on my bucket list that I would be fulfilling.

    There are numerous water sports like swimming, scuba diving and rafting, and many more, however, I would like to try swimming first. I have never tried any water sports yet. I would like to try swimming in Samrat Swimming School, which is recently opened in my hometown. I came to know about this school from my cousin, who is already learning swimming there. I also developed interest in swimming from my cousin. Moreover, according to me, learning swimming is difficult because it takes a lot of stamina, but people can expert in this water sport by practice. In addition, it is beneficial for our immune system and it also strengthens our muscles because in swimming muscles are used.

    My favorite sport that I like to try out is kayaking. It is basically a boating kind of water sport with a person sitting in a small boat called kayak. It fits only one person and you should... Kayaking is one of the water sports that I have always wanted to try since my college days. My friends once went kayaking and they came back with a lot of positive reviews about it. It is a very adventurous sport. It is basically a person sitting in a small boat known as kayak and it's basically rowing the boat to the finish line. I would like to try this in Munnar, a small city in Kerala which is known for its famous hill stations and the waterfalls. The waterfalls run down the hills and right in a sweet spot where the water runs like a river for around 2-3 km, which is where this kayak event takes place. I really want to visit that place once at least in my lifetime and get an experience of how kayaking is.
