⁣You can read about a place. You can look at pictures of it. But unless you’ve been there, dove it and felt it, it’s not the same. Today we are loving this eerie shot of the gaping mouth of carwash cenote with two divers suspended in the blue. It gives me the creeps and the thrills that this dive embodied.⠀
⠀
⁣♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⠀
⠀
⁣Carwash cenote ⁣gets its name from the easy-to-access location, where car owners used to be able to conveniently pull up smack dab beside the road and wash their vehicles. The water was affluent in flora and fauna, and the theme color seemed to be every shade of green imaginable. Dark green lily pads strung up in the water column, lime-green moss carpeting the bottom, and did I mention the medium-sized scaly green crocodile that inhabits the lagoon? 🐊🐊⠀

Some techniques we learn for scuba diving are intended for emergency situations only, whereas other skills are applicable almost every time we hit the water.⠀
⠀
⠀
Scuba diving safety stops are a skill taught to use when we first integrate into the diving world. They are a standard dive procedure done on any dives below 10 meters (32 feet). This brief 3 to 5-minute pause at a depth of 5-6 meters (15-20 foot) is a practice which allows a diver’s body to properly acclimatized going from time spent at depth back up to the surface.⠀

⁣I have a confession to make - one of my greatest thrills in life is going for a dive in someplace new. So when my European travels landed me on the dry and desertic island of Lanzarote, one glance at the rippling sapphire ocean had me itching to get in the water and go diving.⠀
⠀

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⠀

⠀
I also have a second confession to make - I'm a little late posting but we are pretty pumped to be published in @ezdive magazine. This is our first bilingual magazine contribution which can be read in English (my original write-up) as well as Chinese (translated). Our feature describes the beautiful Canary island of Lanzarote (small excerpt above 👆)⠀

Blowing bubbles in Mexico's cenotes is a real thrill. When we visited we spend an abuncance of time around Tulum. Here the visibility felt like a swimming pool and the rock formations were mouth-watering.⠀

⠀
⁣It’s been a really long time since I’ve read a book that I’ve had a hard time putting down. I’m talking – Harry Potter and the Hunger Games - kind of long time. And while I know submarines and scuba suits are a far cry from the magical world of Hogwarts, Deep Shadow - the first novel to what is known as the Deep Series - is a read that both impressed and surprised me. ⁣If the first book is any indication of what’s to come, I can only hope that I don’t finish reading the four-book series before summer. 📚⠀
⠀
⁣♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⠀
⠀
[#ad]⁣ The Deep Series (formerly “Caribbean Dive Adventures”) written by ⁣Nick Sullivan, is a succession of books inspired by decades of scuba travel. The first book Deep Shadow - set on the sleepy island of Bonaire - tells the action-packed story of dive buddies ⁣Boone Fischer and ⁣Emily Durand, who on a routine dive accidentally swim into a terrorist plot that turns their lives upside down.⠀

There is nothing like finishing up a dive - cold, achy and exhausted from lugging tanks and weights around all day. Only to have the boat captain pull out his secret stash of chocolate bars ⁣on the way back to the harbour. What a HERO!!!! 😋👌⠀
