Dive Into Your Imagination

School of Jacks, Papua New Guinea

I lived in Papua New Guinea for nearly four months. I would say it was my favorite diving consistently in warm water for one reason, the water temperature and the visibility. The water was 86 degrees and I dived in my board shorts and rash guard on almost every single dive except night dives. The water was consistently great visibility and it is one of the only places that I could predict when we were going to see schooling barracuda and jacks, dolphins and sharks. It truly was AMAZING. There was a dive site called Crack-A-Fat….because I am a lady, I cannot tell you what that means, but it is Australian Rhyming Slang. There were sometimes incredibly strong currents here and we could not dive this site every week, but when we were able to we had schools of fish that I would become a part of. I used to give lectures on how to school with the fish. You have to use your fins differently. I want to be there right now so badly that I can almost feel the warm salt water on my skin.
