On this episode of This Is My Thing, we’re talking with Susan Hanson about her love of snorkeling. Every week, she puts on her gear and jumps into the San Marcos River to float a bit, take some photos, clean up any trash she sees, and occasionally recover a lost phone or wallet.
We’ll talk about her first river plunge, which parts of the world she’s snorkeled in in the two decades since, the friendships she’s made (with humans, fish, and turtles), and what it’s all doing for her. Oh, and we’ll also talk about why she — a person who doesn’t even like to swim — decided to take up snorkeling in the first place!
Check out some of Susan’s underwater photos and see a short video of her in the river at our page on KUT.org
