Snorkeling !

Thats not me ! found it from google

11th April,2014.And on this day of our trip to Bahamas, we landed at an island called Coco Cay. By we, I mean myself and myhusband. A little more detail - Coco Cay is a privately owned island by the cruise line we were travelling with , RoyalCarribean.

We had decided on the ship itself to indulge our day doing one of the water sports on the island, either para-sailing or snorkeling. On reaching we could see people rushing for the snorkeling counter and we too got our snorkeling kits.

At first place, I don't know swimming. I took my life jacket along from home itself. More details - He had gifted me life jacket this birthday to help myself swim in the apartments' pool while he is a swimmer since he was 9 or 10.

So, We got our kits on and we got into water and I tried to splash around and then float onto my back with the help of life jacket.
But I was there for snorkeling. I could not float onto my back all the while.

And then he told me to turn around and to give a try floating onto my stomach and poke my face inside water and see inside through it. I tried but I just could not lie flat onto my stomach. Then he held my hands and asked me to keep my face inside and walk and then see. But all the time I ended up taking water in and almost to vomit it out. and I told him to do it all himself and I will sit by the beach. With the kind of inclination he has for water, I could almost tell his heart was dying to take a plunge in that beauty of water and to explore it inside. So he just went for a dive returning back almost in 10 to 15 min.

And here he banged on me the idea of getting in again because he had seen some hundreds of fishes and turtles in that time under water. And he insisted like anything to come on and just try once more just not to miss the astounding beauty of the life inside. And I put on again that snorkeling kit. And then he told me to have faith on him and forget that I will sink inside and he will save me from that and just to hold his hand while inside. So we got in again together. And this time I had more faith on him and myself too.

I tried to lay onto my stomach this time with little more determination. and I could do a little better. While I laid afloat on to my stomach now,I tried to see in but I was not able to see much. And then he held my hand and like just pulled me through water as he swam across.I kept flowing with him holding his hand.And then we were at a golden point. He pointed with his other hand in a direction and I could so clearly see that through such clear transparent water. And there laid ahead a bunch of beautiful colorful fishes surrounded by corals and plants, the sight of which just made my heart pound, stirring through me instantly BLISS! Those striped colorful fishes, some silver ones, and plants waving around them, the 'finding nemo' fish, WOW, heavenly!!  And at that particular moment, I could not understand what was more powerful to bring that in me, that hand of faith or that sight of beauty. But for that moment I really felt an unbound love for him, because lending a belief to another person that he can totally be on you is one beautiful thing to offer.

And it was something that is gonna stay in me like a little thing yet big enough to love him a lot more.
This post is truly a dedication for him to bring on my way beautiful wonders hidden here or there.
