I have to admit, today was pretty amazing. I was slightly nervous as we suited up for the first dive. It had been months since our last dive, leaving me skeptical I would remember my training. Besides, there could be sharks and lethal jellyfish out there. The thought of swimming smack dab into their habitat was making me question my own sanity. But, as soon as we hit the water and I took my first breaths of cool, clean, tank air, my jitters dissolved and my mind cleared. Once I was able to submerse my face and peer at the underwater marvel below me, I felt nothing but curiosity and awe. It was like floating in space. I was in a multi-color heaven. Time was suspended, but in a magical, ethereal way. My only reminder of reality was my oxygen meter, and even that couldn’t dampen my good time. We floated through towers of coral, schools of technicolor fish, and everything else you could imagine. It was like being transported into a Walt Disney movie. I could have been the Little Mermaid, though not nearly as graceful. Luckily (for me), we avoided encountering any Great White Sharks or Box Jellyfish. Instead, it was a blissful, carefree day of diving one of the great wonders of the world. I couldn’t be happier.
Oh - and I want to say a great big THANK YOU to Tusa Dive for making this great day possible! They were amazing! I highly recommend them!
**I apologize for the lack of photos to accompany this trip report. We do have some great shots, but the Internet out here is too slow to upload anything. I promise to post the pics as soon as I’m able.
