The ocean is honestly the most incredible thing. It may be clich
é, but it truly is a completely different world down there. 2 completely separate worlds sharing one planet, its beautiful. Yesterday we just swam out into the blue, not in the hopes of seeing big marine life, but because its the most serene experience. Just gliding with 30 metres above, 300 below. Up, down, left, right just pure blue. Its hard to imagine nothingness, but i think this is as close as it gets.
Its a shame, but typical, that for the first 7 dives we decided not to rent the camera. Which of course was when all the sharks decided to show themselves. They are the most beautiful creatures, the way they move their perfectly proportioned bodies, i could watch them forever. Today, despite the lack of sharks, was still incredible. All day, 7AM-6PM, on the boat. These three dives were quite the opposite to the nothingness the day before, schools of giant snapper, tuna, unicornfish [left] and bat
fish. When you jump in and all you can see are fins and scales it makes your heart jump. The first dive was basically a sheer reef wall with 200+ metres below us. While the rest swam closer to the giant shoals of fish, i stayed closer to the reef wall looking for hidden beauties in the cracks. And luckily for me i manged to spy a rather large beauty tucked away in a cave [right]. Moray Eels are stunning, this one happened to be particularly large, and particularly frightening. I wish i could convey it's beauty, along with the beauty of the ocean properly, but photos completely lacking in true colour are all i have to offer. Along with various other sea creatures, octopuses, a gigantic napoleon ras, a few large barracuda, one of the highlights would have to be the old, large, green sea turtle [above]. I think i'm just in love and fascinated with all things oceanic.
