Face to face with calm turtles, gentle rays and curious sharks, the surface sending shimmering rays of vibrant sunlight through the water, casting a magical glow over you. A turtle sees you and soars closer, curious about the strange creature in their home. Dazzling colours and glorious, rippling surface patterns scatter, reflecting off the bottom of the shallows. It's breathtaking, and yet you've never been able to breathe easier.
Fish of all shapes, sizes and vibrant colours surrounded us and every time we dove down, they followed us, curious at the huge animals that were visiting their space...little starfish and other little ocean creatures peppered the wrecks and the surrounding sand banks and it was spectacular...It is quite a unique and special ecosystem that has been forged from the remnants of human activity.
We just got back to our villa in Ubud yesterday after a week or legitimate bliss. The Nusa Islands are every single bit as spectacular as everyone says they are (if not more so).
You are surrounded by beautiful little coloured fish. They literally will swim towards you out of curiosity and then stay with you as you swim around, especially next to the wrecks.
Coolangatta beach is one of the most popular beaches on the Gold Coast in Australia. During the year, sometimes you can watch whales breach off in the distance, and occasionally you can see dolphins swim in quite close to the shore.
