Young Snorkel Diver Descending

On this picture my son Adam is leaving the surface and descending through the blue water to inspect coral gardens of South Pacific in Vava’u archipelago, Kingdom of Tonga. In general he is not a very keen diver or snorkeler, especially in our temperate waters around New Zealand. However, in the warm waters of tropical Pacific he relaxed very quickly, got confidence and holding his breath became very natural to him. It was quite easy to communicate with him underwater using hand signals, also he was patient with me as I was pushing my cumbersome photo equipment through the water. I am thinking how easy it is to enter the underwater world of wonders, just grab a mask/goggles, a snorkel, fins, a little bit of common sense and you’re ready for the new adventure.
