Dive, Dive, Dive!






Yesterday we dived at the Simillan Islands. I wish I had an underwater camera. Diving is quite surreal. It's like entering a giant underwater room. It's a weird balance between a feeling of freedom and exploration versus remembering the limits and rules of what you can do. These photos don't do the place any justice. Looking up from about 20 meters below the surface and seeing huge schools of rainbow coloured tropical fish. Swimming along with a Banner Fish as if we were buddies. The intricate patterns and never ending variations of coral. It was pretty cool. We got up at 5.30 am (that's a shot of the sunrise) and spent about 8 hours travelling to spend about 1 1/2 hours in the ocean. It was totally worth it.
