Underwater Obsession
By Kara Owens

Obsession. It's what drives me to travel, drives me to scuba dive, and drives me to take photos. In one trip I found my love of scuba diving and photography.
Sometimes people don't realize what their love is. They don't know what they want to do with their life; don't know where they want to live, or who to love. I found my love while under 50 feet of water as I held an underwater camera in pitch black night on Christmas eve as I tried to take pictures without getting a grainy photo. I found my love snorkeling the same area during the day and watched sea turtles swim under me while I chased them trying to get the perfect shot.
I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, where I want to live, or who to love. I am sure that I am obsessed. Obsessed with the water that surrounds me and my small tank of air and obsessed with the fish that swarm the reef below.
