Lost as usual
Hi Scott,
You are so right. Maybe my hints gave it away. Heehee. Thanks for the kind words.
You are looking at a 72 years old dude, a poor swimmer, yours truly, first time doing scuba diving, in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.
The diving platform was 1.5 hrs by boat from Cairns. I almost, like some younger folks, gave up during training session. It was a bit scary initially. We went down with a trainer for every 4 students. We saw a huge giant clam of 5 foot long. And it scared the heck out of me when a huge fish, later identified as a hump back wrasse, swam right next to me, as you can see from the picture. It turned out to be very tame and I got to pat it on the hump. Some experience. The picture was taken by one of the diving crews.
I did look scared, didn't I? This fish was bigger than me. Now I can cross out one item from my bucket list. Yay!
