Diving under water is absolutely the best experience that money can buy.
One is finally free like a bird and a fish; Gravity feels like an old history book. The rhythmic bubbles take you into an alternate realm which beats our most adventurous dreams. Yet its no dream...It is as real as it gets...A universe filled with panoramic views of landscapes defying imagination and life forms which humble your existence. Dynamic pastures that tease you from miles and vanish at the flap of your fin. Waters filled with sea urchins waiting for a bite, multi colored coral strips that lure you and fish that tempt you to seek deeper and darker places. A sudden pop of color surprises you in every hidden corner. Yet it is your body that shocks you the most , more than the aquatic life....Its a world of neutral buoyancy where you sink or spring up on a single breath, a world where every view is a tactile 360 Degrees and so is every moment. One moment you might be standing on the ocean bed and the next moment you can find ourself gliding upwards as you lean to avoid the reef and the very next moment you might be plunging down... You reach such depths where the pressures thump your lungs and ears. Depths where basic physics needs to be respected... and then...Bubbles ! ...your only link to the world you left behind of rough waves crashing recklessly on the still lone boat....Bubbles!... which transport you to a surreal stillness of an underwater ecosystem that was never still...not even for a blink
Can you dream with your eyes wide open? Scuba diving is exactly that and more.

It sounds all fun ? But it was the scariest 3 days I spent too till I got to the point where I started to enjoy the dive and see it with fearless abandon.....another post on that later
Nice! Pic you took? Do we need to know swimming to do this? Hope not..
Oh Pic as always borrowed from the dive school:) Dive centers have those underwater cameras (which look ancient) but we did not take one . maybe next time
You need to know swimming ...and actually be a decent free style swimmer ....else cannot maneuver ...I usually do breast stroke and my free style is a little raw...need to wrk on it..
What's with this eery silence 'K'?
