A man cannot discover the new oceans unless he has the courage to lose the sight of the shore. He who searches for the pearls must dive below. From the birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders and he is bolted to the earth. But man has only to sink beneath the sea, and he is free. Diving is an investment of time and money, but the rewards can be life changing, literally.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_378869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-378869\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"378869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/100-scuba-dives-checked-dheeraj-m-nanda-ss-interview\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?fit=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-378869 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"100-scuba-dives-checked--dheeraj-m-nanda-ss-interview\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/28174631\/17437569_188752361625434_169206387019087872_n.jpg?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-378869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dheeraj M Nanda, the pride of Indian scuba diving<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>In talks with Dheeraj M Nanda:<\/h3>\n<h3>1) Hey!

My brother, a photographer inspired me to take a camera and capture the essence of nature.

It has been 4 years since I started diving. Being a photographer, it was quite natural to take cameras under water and capture what the under water ecosystem has to offer. Moreover this was not a thing which lot of people did and this made me select it as my main genre for photography.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Share with us the feeling of having completed 100 scuba dives<\/h3>\n<p>It feels great after every dive I complete and to have completed 100 scuba dives before turning 18 was a goal for me.
