Diving in La Palma, with photos!

I thought I would never get my photos sent to me, but I was lucky and this wonderful photographer I was lucky to model for, just for fun, I had no idea of course, did finally sent me the photos and I am so happy to be able to show you this beautiful place.

I am stunned how pro I look too, LOL in one of the photos I don't even breathe!! jeje

Actually, here I did hold my breath, you can see no bubles! wink These are red gorgonias, the place was full of it! Well, La Palma is a small Spanish Island which is called "La isla bonita", alt text all green and beautiful. It is more used for tracking, so many people do that that they miss all the fun under water, and trust me, it was really beautifulwink

I was lucky, the weekend after my stay a competition took place"III Campeonato fotosub de La Palma" organized by the diving club I was diving with, just by chance, as I had no idea this was going to take place. So this photographer was practising and looking for new places and asked me...so I thought it was so exciting!

It was funny: Ok, now don't move, legs straight, hands tucked in, look here, and D O N O T breathe!!! LOL I mean not breathing under the water...that is complicatedwink

anyway, it was much fun and this guy got to be 5th in the competition and all, his photos are great!

Here you can read about the competition and see the winning photos (scroll down), they are spectacular. grin

This is one of my favourites, that was really difficult to do, I mean, the water moves you all the time, well, I did it!

How exciting Heidi!!! I think you will be starring in movies next. wink

Thanks for sharing the photos and the story. One day I will have to try this so that I can see the beauty close up and not just in pictures.

When are you coming to Cozumel? I've spent tons of time on dry ground there, but hear that the waters below are some of the most gorgeous in the world. smile
