Diving in the ocean

Yesterday we wake up early and in a very rainy day prepared for diving. Sounds crazy but this is the miracle of this island. During our way to the south-west it was raining all the time and we were pretty sure that unfortunately our adventure will be canceled due to the weather. Imagine our amusement when we get to the lighthouse of Teno and from the northern part the ocean was crazy and it was raining and from the southern one the water was quiet and the sun was shining. 

So we separated on two groups and as I was from the second one decided to make on circle and enjoy the incredible view. It was great the blue sky with the small clouds and the ocean singing around. Well as my friends know me very well I’m a specialist of falling down and enjoying this view while walking on one wooden bridge made one meter above the rocks I didn’t see one missing plank and fall with both of my legs inside. That screws up the moment for a while but fortunately nothing serious just small scratches enough for a good feeling in the salty ocean water. 

So it came the time for my group going in to the water. First we had to put on the neoprene costumes. Believe me it was hard for the people to put them on when they were dry and now when they were already wet from the first group it seemed impossible. Here came on help our experienced instructor prepared with bottle of soap water which really helps. So the costumes on together with the pretty heavy equipment and after the instructions how to use the bottle we entered in the water. 

You know that I can’t really swim, just a little bit, but enough not to fear from the water. So after we get ok with the breathing from the oxygen bottle we started to try to dive. Yes it was trying for me all the time. First I had a problem with my legs which stiffened due to the big floats on that I’ve never used before. After we dissolved this problem with Laura – my instructor, the problem was that I just couldn’t sink. I told I’m not scared from the water but obviously it wasn’t really like this. 

In the end with a lot of help from Laura I almost touch the bottom of the ocean and saw some really beautiful fish. It was beautiful down there. And even it is hard for me and I have to fight with myself I’m pretty sure that I’ll try again one day.
