Imagine complete silence. The only thing you hear is your own breathing. You are surrounded by water. You breath in and you breath out. Slowly. You are floating around, guided by the current. Schools of hundreds of the same fish are passing by. They look at you (at least it seems that like they look at you). All kinds of different fish are swimming around: big ones, small ones, brightly coloured ones and hardly visible ones covered by their protective coloration. sun is shining from above. The silence is so peaceful. 
See how busy it is under water
The pre-christmas present I've given myself was a diving trip to Egypt. It was really stunning. Friends told me that i'd be ruïned now I've seen one of the best diving sites in the world: the Red Sea. The pictures in this post are all made there in the Red Sea. Most of them at the famous site Blue Hole.
All the colours are so beautiful down there. It is a completely different world, the underwater world. With different creatures, different organisms, different way of communication, different rules. During this diving trip I learned a lot about naturalism (no, not naturism) and the differences between above and under water world. Did you know that the gender of some fish change when they get older. And that the appearance of some completely change over the years; including shape and colours.
