Snorkeling with the fishes !

Share


Hello friends, in the last post I wrote about Mauritius as a place and the general information and experiences there,However I did tell you that there are some special experiences which I would like to put individually. Snorkeling being one of them. Snorkeling is the adventure sport where you have the mask which a long tube sticking out of it which remains above the surface of water whereas you remain under it.The trick is to suck the air from the mouthpiece but well, the trick is very difficult to master without tasting the salty water innumerable times ,I must warn you about that.So, basically, our resort had an option of providing snorkeling gear.I was like let me try it and the moment I started to practice it ,I faced the consequence of gulping the salty water many times as I was supposed to suck the air from mouth and not nose but due to your primary habit you tend to do just the opposite .In a while i did get used to it.

The next day we had decided to go for a full day on the sea yacht ride.If that is not exciting enough , let me tell you the scenario ,crystal blue waters , green mountains and the white yacht with black glasses and live barbecue happening there . Of course there were drinks too.The boat driver was Mauritian but followed the Bollywood cinema a lot and SRK was his favourite star . The surprise which came to we was that when we reached mid ocean which by the way are infested with sharks , the yacht driver asked us if we wanted to snorkel and I was like Oh my God in these waters , nevertheless by seeing the south African couple and the Australian companion of mine , I was like lets go for it .

The world below came alive as I dipped into the water , for as much as I could see ,there was clear blue water and colourful fishes all around.Red,blue , fluorescent ,orange ,striped you name it and they were there. The feel to see them right below me was getting my adrenalin pumped up but that wasn't it for me, I climbed up on the deck again and got a loaf of bread , now when you dip any bread in water it will become soggy and its particles will float in water if you try it ,That is exactly what I did , dipped it into water and the next thing that happened is the feeling for which I have written this entire blog.the particle came up towards my body .There were hundreds of fishes which were swimming below me and they always swim in schools and the bread attarcted them naturally . now they started feeding on the particles stuck on my body the feeling of hundreds of beautiful fish between you two hands is not something that you get to experience a lot, do you ? it is a very special moment and feeling for me which I shall never forget .

You should try snorkeling , it is a fun sport ! Will be back with more stories and adventures , so hang on ! ciao till then !
