Underwater adventure photos

Alright faithful blog buddies...

We think that we owe you some pictures. So, without further adieu, photos!

But first, a small adieu. So, I suppose this is with further adieu, but you gotta adieu what you gotta adieu. That is Jason's humor in summary. People I hear this kind of stuff daily, so please feel sorry for me!

Some background info that we have not yet told you about:

We went to a teeny little island called Mabul. It is supposed to have amazing snorkeling. It did. The island was a little fishing village and we stayed in a little hut-shack built on stilts over the water. This is old news.

Corinne is telling Jason that we've said this already. Apparently the water pressure got to his memory.

So we took our open-water dive course. We are now officially padi-certified open water divers. It was sooooooo cool. While we were learning our basic skills (which are often done in swimming pools) we saw sea snakes, eels, fishes, turtles, and more fishes.

Then, we took our first dive as certified divers. Our first day of diving was at one of the best dives spots in the world: Sipidan. We didn't have a camera, but our Danish friends did and they gave us their pictures, and we saw what they saw so its like we took them.

For a little technical info, water diffracts light... red is the first colour to disappear, so that's why underwater photos often look so green, as these do.

Now, without further adieu (we promise this time), the underwater photos:

Us, underwater-style!



We found Nemo!


This is a lionfish.

Turtle! (Corinne likes watching them glide in the water.)

Lifelong goal number 357: Swim with sharks. Check.

That is all... but more pictures are on the way... soon!
