Underwater

Scuba diving is magical. Snorkling was my only previous diving experience, so the freedom of scuba diving was exhilirating. It was a lot harder than I thought--but then I only had about an hour of training before going underwater, and I was surprisingly (to me) inept. Sadly, diving conditions weren't ideal & this is the best my little throwaway underwater camera could do. You'll see fish if you look carefully! All I really cared about was seeing sea turtles & happily this fellow hung around our group. Ok--the guide took the closeup for me 'cause I was too spastic underwater to do it myself . . . I was enthralled just looking. Swimming like mad I shot a rear view of our turtle mascot before it swam away.
