Maya – I was at a similar age when I found that I could hold my breath for a long time

but it got me into trouble once . I was a sea scout – just a Canadian version of boy scouts , but we wore a uniform copied from Navy uniforms . We learned to sail as well as the usual BSA woodsy lore , badges , etc.
During the summer months our weekly meetings were held in a building of our own on pilings in a swampy portion of the yacht club property and sometimes the Skipper (Scoutmaster) would take us to the dock area where the water was about 20 feet deep and toss bottle caps in for us to chase . He knew I could deep dive and asked me to dive to the bottom and bring up caps that had settled there . I did , but after a couple of dives to the bottom got a sudden splitting headache . Don’t know to this day what that was .
