Agatha had been going scuba diving ever since the sport was invented. She couldn’t pin down a specific reason why, she simply enjoyed it. She liked the feeling of being submerged in water, she liked how the scuba gear felt while wearing it, she enjoyed the sights and sounds of the underwater world, but none of those really explained why she kept diving for so many decades.
Perhaps it was the fact that her lover looked really hot in scuba gear. That was probably it.
Rio took a little bit of convincing from Agatha before she took up scuba diving, but once she tried it, she enjoyed it just as much, though she could pin down a clearer reason for it. Rio appreciated the simultaneous feeling of stillness and motion that being underwater had. The tranquility beneath the surface was both soothing and stimulating in a way she’d never experienced before.
Or maybe it was because Agatha looked really hot in scuba gear. That was probably it.
Now that both of them were hooked, Agatha and Rio went scuba diving as often as they could. They explored all six oceans, an uncountable number of rivers and lakes, and observed every underwater biome imaginable. It really opened their eyes to a part of the world they’d previously never really thought about that much.
And yet, they loved their pool dives the most. No crushing pressure, no dangerous sea life, no possibility of being too deep to surface if their oxygen tanks ran out of air. Just the two of them, with no distractions to divert their attention away from each other.
“Mmmmhhh…,” Agatha murmured contentedly into her regulator as she and Rio sat in the corner of the pool, snuggling together and feeling like all was right with the world.
“Mmmph…,” Rio sighed as she nuzzled her lover, while Agatha gently stroked her long dark hair.
Rio was completely right about how being underwater felt both soothing and stimulating. It provided the perfect atmosphere for her and Agatha to relax and cuddle, forget about their troubles, and simply enjoy being together. It was a simple pleasure, but sometimes the simple pleasures are what made life worth living in their eyes, and that may be the real reason why Agatha and Rio liked scuba diving so much.
That, or because they looked so hot in scuba gear. That was probably it.
