How big, how blue, how beautiful

Day 14: July 12

Today I went diving again. Diving definitely has been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Getting to see the world from a different vantage point is so intriguing/different/enlightening. Nothing like being 80 feet under water to make you feel tiny/special/everything.

The first dive was at a site called "The wall". Our max depth was about 80 feet, the deepest I have gone yet (!!). It was a large coral 'wall', some of which we swam through the little nooks and crannies. I saw a lot of lion fish, an invasive (but pretty) species. I saw a large stingray too. The reef was very lush, colorful and full. Looking up was awesome.

Our next dive was at a site called the 'washing machine'. This is becasue there is a large tunnel part between two walls that has a current that pulls you forward and back throughout the channel. It was awesome, you just kinda float there and it pulls you back and forth until you get to the end of the tunnel. It was not nearly as eerie as I expected, but it was probably better that way.

I only got pictures from the first dive:
