Shark above my head !!!! r u kiddin me???

Sea always fascinates me. It looks like a big tank of water and nothing more. But there are hell lot more to it than just water. We humans and many other organisms occupy one third of the world. What about the remaining two third? Imagine the number of organisms under the water. Imagine diving deep down the Marianas Trench (11km deep). You would have bursted into pieces b'coz of pressure by then. If Mount Everest were placed inside of this trench, it would disappear. . Imagine being a witness of a huge valcano eruption or a great earthquake happening under the sea. U'll be first to see how tsunami begins after an underwater earthqauke. Even the world's tallest mountain range and the tallest peak is under the sea.







Leave the facts aside. Just imagine looking at the millions of organisms inside the water. There are milions of organisms unknown to the humans lying deep down the ocean. There is a giant squid of 14m length deep down the pacific ocean. Imagine coming eye to eye with it. Imagine looking at the largest of blue whales swimming next to u. Sharks, sting rays (too bad, one of them killed Steve Irwin) or a jelly fish in front of your eyes could be a dangerous sight. A little clown fish, a sea horse, dolphins are the ones that gives a smile on your face and joy in your heart. Looks like a fantasy isnt it. But its a dream that i lived under the submarium in Hull, England. Read on.

Hull is located in the East Yorkshire county in England. There is an underwater submarium in Hull called "The Deep". Three floors of water and 8 inch thick glass made it a sanctuary for water organisms and a great experience for sea lovers like me. It takes more than 10 hrs to reach Hull from my place, Brighton. But when u have an everlasting passion and interest, who really cares for time. So a gang of 8 friends headed by Vishnu landed in Hull by mid day. After a customary roam around the city centre we were off to our prime location, the submarium. Yes, I lived my dream. Sharks, Sting Rays, Clown Fish, Dolphins and all kinds of inhabitants of the sea swam over my head. It truly was an experience of a life time. Dreams do come alive. Mine just did.

I've published a few of the submarium pics over here for all you friends to enjoy. I now have a personal agenda to become a qualified scuba diver. That will only expand my dreams. Enjoy these pics.
