The sun was shining brightly, making the huge Island glow. It was finally the day I was going scuba diving. I was in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands chilling out with my parents. We were in one of the most beautiful, the most amazing Island. It was Havelock Island. It was like a fairy tale. The view touching our hearts, just as we reached a huge, pretty cottage. It was filled with different and beautiful interior. With an awesome yard filled with bright green grass. It had trillions of tall and beautiful trees. Just hanging to the trees were lengthy, amazing, very comfortable swings. The kind of swings found on the beach. These things gave us a totally relaxing view. It felt as if I was in a dream.
Just as we swung our bags on our backs as we raced towards our huge, white, comfy car which would drop us to the scuba diving area. The car went fast and thus we could not observe the beauty of this place. Soon, we were near a Rocky surface with little huts surrounding it. It gave a totally mesmerizing look. We slowly entered in, enjoying the beauty of this place. Then, we entered a hut. Just as we said down on white plastic chairs, a man entered in with a huge smile. He had some white A4 size papers in his hand. It had something inscripted on it. Soon, the papers were our hands. It was a form. We soon filled it up and were ready to change. We soon got our costumes. They were very thick, smiley, sandy and wet. I really did not want to wear it. In addition to that, the changing rooms were horrible. They smell really bad and they were all Sandy. Just as we change, we got our oxygen tank, glasses, and shoes. The oxygen tank was extremely heavy. I was about to tremble and fall. But just as soon I entered the water. The weight was gone. It was just like a miracle. before entering the huge, amazing Ocean we were getting some practice by us scuba teacher. he was a short man with Japanese eyes. I was very excited, at the time very scared. my heart was pounding to see the beautiful view underwater. My eyes, wanting to get in. My hands, shivering to see the underwater world.
I was cold and my face grew pale as I entered the huge, blue, clean Waterbody. I was surprised to see e such a clean ocean. Us, humans have not let the ocean clean ever since we were. the trainer thought us different gestures, which were used underwater. Wow! we finished the training. Now, was the moment. I slowly entered in with my coach, my parents going in another direction. I was scared. My body, head to toe was shivering, though I was excited to meet all the underwater creatures. Just as I dived in, a bit by bit I was able to see fishes. There were so many different fishes. All of them were bright and colorful. This gave satisfaction to my heart. I felt my heart skip a beat & I did not blink my eyes. My ears could hear the sound of the seaweeds fluttering. I felt like a mermaid ruling the underwater world. The fishes, trying to hide in the seaweeds. There were billions of fishes int the blue ocean. Some were blue, black, pink, & so many different colors. The fishes had given color to the plain blue ocean. Just then, a camera struck in front of me. I was on camera!! Just as a pretty fish, with 3 colors passed by me, I went chasing it. My instructor trying to stop me. He came in front of me and blocked my path. He turned me back & took me in another direction. I was obsessed with the beauty of the water & did not want to leave. But, it was time for me to leave this beautiful place.
What an amazing experience!
