I really like how you did your crystalline for that picture. As for me, I would never have the courage to jump in. Someone would have to push me in!!

Wonderful! Poise will mess me up so I just do it! Like swimming with stingrays...lots of them and in choppy waves...also zip lines over rainforest canopy. Am I that brave...no, but my husband encouraged these.
