By the simple act of strapping on a mask and wearing fins, a whole new world becomes available and real!!!
In Salomon atoll,we can go for an unlimited snorkeling whenever we like.Due to the whale's death,there were many sharks in this lagoon.They said it was better not to go snorkeling near the whale carcass area.You might be kissed by sharks.We went to the other side of the lagoon.I got to say that it was a perfect spot for any person to peep into the hidden facinating world!It was so marvelous."Su go i !" a few words I could shout out without thinking in Japanese!
It was a shining Sunday.The tide was low.We went close to the reefs between Takamaka island and Fouquet island.Captain said that" reefs are the great spots to snorkel and examine the nature of water and marine flora and fauna."We went snorkeling in Maldives before.Maldives had been rated as number one site for snorkeling because of its diverse underwater world.I thought in Salomon atoll,it was more beautiful than where I went snorkeling in Maldives.The tropical Indian Ocean was really beautiful.
We could see big corals,great variety of fish,and other marine life everywhere.The underwater beauty here were not much influnced by human activity.That's why every yacht which came to Chagos had to sign a paper from BIOT.If your boat sank on the reef or made any damage to the reef,you had to take responsibility to clean it and compensate the damage.The coral reefs are not only one of the world's most fascinating and impressive natural environments, they are also an important resource to humankind.When I went snorkeling,I felt like I was one of the citizens of the underwater world.I heard myself breathing in this slient world.Although I couldn't do the skin diving like Captain and Yuuki, I could almost touch those great little creatures in the low tide.
Suddenly,I noticed that there were many many giant clams with different colors around me.They were one of large clam species native to the shallow coral reefs in the Indian seas. They could grow more than 200 kilograms and live in the wild for 100 years or more.There were orange,blue,green,brown,yellow giant clams everywhere.Their shining and bright colors caught my eyes.I thought the Nature was the best artist of colors.I should enjoy this touching moment with a sincere heart but somehow they reminded me the おいしい(delicious) sashimi Captain made yesterday.Oh,how evil I was!
And...hey...hey...hey...we had giant clam sashimi again later that day.
When I still indulged myself with my crazy imagination about giant clams,Yuuki suddenly swam to me.He tapped on my shoulder and pointed to a big moving thing close to us. OH! MY! It was a shark! I stared at the gray shark till it vanished into the dark blue sea.WHEW!My first encounter with a shark in the sea. I swore I didn't think of shark sashimi at that moment!
