A DIFFERENT SEA
It started to rain when we came up from our second dive. The calm sea has turned rough. And as we floated with our BCDs, undulating up and down, with the salty waves crashing into our faces...
I glimpsed the gray horizon brewing with storm clouds and the once turquoise sea has turned into deep a aquamarine hue. Here, my two favorite colors came in play. I was glad. We slowly made our way back to the beach, carrying our 14 kg oxygen tanks back to the dive centre.
The sea was tremendously beautiful. In this beauty, lies the potential to capture one's life, but therein also lies the very being of marine life. This is the duality of Her nature. And I find this to be intriguing.
As the rain washes down on our salt permeated bodies, the wind blew across the seascape of ash brown, light blue sea front and deep aquamarine waves. I didn't bring my camera.
By the time we came back to the centre, the rain has already stopped and we went by washing our suits and equipments, dismantling our BCDs from those heavy tanks and keeping everything where they're suppose to be.
Then I walked down the coast with Nisha stepping into sea pools, chasing small fishes with out legs, sipping from the river that streamed into the sea before finally coming to our rest... Eiffel Bay where we found many broken corals in shapes of the famous Parisian tower.
The sea has receded fully by now while we lay embraced in its shallow arms on blue-gray stubbles and brown algae rocks.
It's been a great one day. Can't complain.
