The first time I plunged my head with a mask on into water I felt I entered the party I wasn't invited at. Scores of fishes were swimming by without a slightest hint of attention, busily going up and down for their special reasons. The colors - that's what struck me most - the colors were bright, vivid and numerous - yellow and blue, purple and black, red, orange, green... Life above immediately felt plain, blunt, boring.
For the first time I only noticed bigger things - huge pieces of reefs, bigger fish, greenish algae. Swimming afterwards I began paying attention to those little things that were happening around me. Life was quite interesting - deep down to the bottom grey plain-looking fish was trying to hide in a burrow while its bright yellow and black friend was eating a piece of reef. Schools of fish gathered around for reasons they only knew. Surprisingly , I got a feeling that I was flying above the wonderful city with fishes being the citizens of it, bustling around the streets doing their stuff.
An unforgettable feeling indeed.
