Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

i’m so in love with this. i can’t even. ah. my favourite feeling in the world is putting your head beneath the water and entering an entirely different place, so peaceful, so quiet. what i miss more than anything when i’m living away from the ocean is being able to duck under and leave all my worries on the surface.
This is extraordinary
not only that, but they say only about 5% of ocean depths have been observed. And around 70% of Earth is covered by water. I just think that’s mind-blowing.

“Nothing gave her so much pleasure as to hear about the world above the
sea. She made her old grandmother tell her all she knew of the ships and
of the towns, the people and the animals. To her it seemed most
wonderful and beautiful to hear that the flowers of the land had
fragrance, while those below the sea had none; that the trees of the
forest were green; and that the fishes among the trees could sing so
sweetly that it was a pleasure to listen to them. Her grandmother called
the birds fishes, or the little mermaid would not have understood what
was meant, for she had never seen birds.” –The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

Behold, the barracuda swimming solo in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary! Did you know these fish can swim in burst of up to 35 miles per hour? Pretty impressive for this ocean hunter.
