The enthusiasm and drive of new divers, especially the young ones, brings with it a renewal of the magic of our watery planet. Some of the critters we take for granted from our daily underwater observations suddenly take on a new persona when viewed through the eyes of someone seeing them for the first time. Trumpet fish, angel fish, even porcupine fish are always glimpsed with fascination through the eyes of new divers and it is this enthusiasm that reminds the rest of us who do this day in and day out of our first underwater adventures.
On today’s dive we had the pleasure of having a gung-ho group of new young divers with such an enthusiasm for the underwater world. Going through their skills like professionals, they were soon cruising above the reef watching all the animals in this new and mysterious world with great fascination. Mother ocean was quick to make their dives even more memorable by giving them the type of underwater encounters they are likely to remember forever.
A large male Loggerhead turtle was the first to brighten up the eyes of all who watched it cruise nearby. But their last encounter of their first dive was to be the hit of the day. At first glance they all kept a weary distance and their eyes bulged – a shark was in plain sight! Already mother ocean was beginning to educate them of the true nature of sharks. Instead of causing them great fear and terror, the lonely nurse shark continued napping under a ledge until the noise of the regulators breathing a little extra heavy was too much to bear and he swam away.
Faring through rough seas the group was determined to get their scuba diving certification and make the best of the day and that is exactly what they did. Congratulations to all the new divers from Diving Locker Ski Chalet in Georgia. May all your underwater adventures be filled with new discoveries. Don’t forget to always share your observations and enthusiasm with others for you are now embassadors to this amazing watery world.
