Today, I stand before you to ignite the flames of inspiration, and to remind you of the immense potential that lies within each and every one of us. Life is a series of moments, a collection of opportunities that shape our existence. And it is in these moments, these precious windows of time, where we have the power to say yes to opportunity and unlock the doors to a life of fulfillment and purpose. Opportunity knocks on our doors every day, sometimes disguised as challenges, sometimes as new beginnings, and sometimes as risks that beckon us to take a leap of faith. It is up to us to recognize these moments, see beyond the surface, and embrace the hidden potential that they hold. Within each challenge lies a chance for growth, within each new beginning lies a chance for transformation, and within each risk lies a chance for greatness. All too often, we find ourselves paralyzed by fear and self-doubt. We hesitate, clinging to the familiarity of our comfort zones, afraid to venture into the unknown. But what if I told you that the greatest achievements in life are born from the audacity to take risks and embrace the unknown? What if I told you that saying yes to opportunity is the key that unlocks doors you never even knew existed? I have worked in an industry that has always rewarded the bold, the person that was unafraid to ask for what they wanted. But it hasn’t always been easy to do that. Fear of failure, of the unknown of…. It can paralyze you and make it tough to move forward… I have always used the motto… If I could be brave for 15 seconds, the rest would figure itself out. Sometimes all it took was that 15 seconds to step out of the car, or through the door. But usually, by the time I was past the 15 seconds, the rest seemed to take care of itself! Opportunity comes to all of us, and luck is the convergence of preparation and time! The challenge is that opportunity doesn’t always come when we plan for it, it comes when we need it. Be ready to be uncomfortable and accept the blessings that come Think about it. Every great endeavor, every innovation, and every extraordinary accomplishment in history began with someone daring to say yes. They refused to let fear dictate their choices. They understood that a life lived in the shadows of regret is no life at all. They chose to step into the arena, to face their fears head-on, and to seize the opportunities that presented themselves. But seizing opportunities requires action. It demands that we silence the voice of doubt and replace it with a resounding, "I can." It requires us to trade our excuses for courage and our hesitation for determination. It calls us to leap into the unknown, to trust in our abilities, and embrace the uncertainties that come with chasing our dreams. Mariana Willimson said, Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear in that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? The truth is, opportunities may not always come neatly packaged with guarantees of success. They may require hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from our mistakes. But within each opportunity lies the potential for growth, self-discovery, and creating a life that is truly extraordinary. So, I implore you, my friends, to say yes to the opportunity. Embrace the challenges, they are the stepping stones to greatness. Embrace the risks, for they are the catalysts of innovation. Embrace the unknown, for it is where the true magic happens. The world is teeming with possibilities, waiting for you to reach out and claim them. Remember, the greatest regrets in life are not the mistakes we make but the opportunities we let slip away. Embrace the beauty of saying yes to opportunity, and let it guide you on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and the realization of your fullest potential. Thank you, and may your lives be filled with an abundance of opportunities and the courage to say yes! Want to create live streams like this?

Tiffany and Keith Newman started diving in 2021 and decided immediately that the ocean Scuba life was for them and that they wanted to share that passion not just with their own family but with other young people. They realized the sport was not available for everyone due to many reasons and before long Into the Ocean was born from their passion. For many of us, scuba diving has been inspirational, meditative, therapeutic, fun, and, social. Divers know that scuba diving has a unique benefit on psychological factors. Diving can affect our state of mind, emotional regulation, and how we view ourselves and our abilities, in particular our confidence, esteem and worthiness. By the fundraising and volunteer work that Into the Ocean provides, we are able to introduce our youth to life in the ocean, and as a scuba diver at a critical time in their lives. We can provide a pathway that includes inspiration, growth, and a future. We provide mentorship, opportunities, and passion for the sport of scuba diving and those who take part. In a quest for knowledge, Into the Ocean Society also has an invested interest in studying the physiological effects of scuba diving. Changes to breathing, heart rate, and most importantly, chemical changes such as the release of endorphins and effects on the endocrine system. We know that serotonin is a mood-stabilizing chemical that is naturally found in the body. Studies have shown, people facing addiction issues tend to have lower serotonin levels. Our hypothesis is that by exposing one to the meditative effects of scuba diving, this will provide the necessary environment to naturally boost the serotonin levels in a person. Alternately, we aim to study the effects of dopamine release during scuba diving activities. The hypothesis is that by creating a dopamine release, much like the dopamine release drugs provide to an addict, scuba could be used for harm reduction. A natural way to recreate a dopamine release, yet at the same time, in an environment that also encourages serotonin development. We could not operate without the help of many people. Because of our incredibly generous donors, we are able to acquire and maintain the necessary equipment, organize events and expeditions and to bridge the financial gap that holds back so many youths from reaching their full potential. We are also able to study and gain a deeper understanding of how we as a group can help to bring some change to our communities. We also would not be able to operate without the expert knowledge and passion of all our volunteers. These are the people that educate and inspire and most importantly foster a safe environment for our youth. They serve as true ambassadors to our sport and role models to our youth.
