The dive boat





Nothing in my training has prepared me for the fear and danger I've faced today.
It was already 30m, and it kept drawing me down deeper into the impending hazard. The school of trevally formed a natural tornado and sharks were just swimming through it.
NDL time is short, air is limited, I had to fight very hard against the temptation of losing myself into the captivating sight. I wasn't sure if I was getting high from narcosis or just being seduced. I really wanted to go under the tornado to get "the shot".
And the name of this danger is called "Nature's Beauty"

I've seen this cute girlish regulator setup online before, but this is the first time seeing it up close. The LPI is not on the left shoulder and the inflator switch is actually on the lower side of the BCD.
