In The Middle of The Ocean With No Future, No Past … For Reals, This Time
I am now here.
It is an old oil rig off the coast of Malaysian Borneo that has been converted into a full-on SCUBA diving operation. It is, quite literally, in the middle of the ocean. And it is absolutely amazing.
We will be here for a few days. Yesterday, we had 3 dives (you can dive as many times as you like under the rig itself). Today, we are diving in what is considered by many — including my good friend, Dee — to be THE best diving site in the world — Sipidan Island.
It is a national preserve, which requires permits before any visit. So the conditions should be pristine. And I’m excited.
In honor of being where I am, I’m (possibly re-)playing this video, from where the title of this post was garnered.

Today is whatever I want it to be.
