20 years ago today I had the amazing fortune to get to spend a day diving in Alvin to the bottom of the ocean on the East Pacific Rise!

Still having a hard time believing (a) that actually happened to me! (b) it has been that long!

In the baby photo of me, I’m in the Alvin pilot’s usual spot. Behind me you can see that the outside sea temperature at that moment was 1.8 °C and we were 1559.4 meters deep.
