Recently, I had one of those moments, that you know you will remember the rest of your life.
Having traveled to a small South Pacific Island, there were a few things that you could do like snorkeling and going on a glass bottom boat. I had been told earlier that the glass bottom boat was something you just had to do.
At the time I thought hmm I would prefer to snorkel around than look through the bottom of a boat at fish but I trusted and went on the boat.
It was a half hour ride and we went about 300 metres off shore and were handed some old bread to feed to the fish.
At this point I was thinking...dohh what a rip off.
As the fish were in a feeding frenzy by this point the captain turned to us all and said, "Ok, you can go in with the fish now if you would like"
We all just looked at each other and one girl didn't need to be told twice, was over the side in a flash.
I put on my snorkel equipment and followed and I am sure I held my breath for a good couple of minutes, I just forgot to breath. There were so many fish, all different types even a couple of small sharks.
I totally forgot about my underwater camera and when I did remember and go to retrieve it, it was to find out our time was up and we were going back to shore.
Later on that day I did get to see turtles, sea snakes and sword fish but nothing, nothing will ever compare when I jumped over the side of the glass bottom boat.
Spectacular!
