Tonga and Fiji are home to some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean and scuba diving or even swimming among them is a memorable and beautiful experience. This lucky diver was swimming over a coral reef when he came across a school of gorgeous, blue fish that had congregated in and around a coral head in massive numbers. The fish moved gracefully in and out of almost every crevice on the coral in a mesmerizing display of gorgeous color. The fish moved in an out as the diver approached and retreated, somehow being affected by the water movement created by his presence. He couldn't resist moving in and out and over the coral head, watching their dazzling performance.

Scuba diving is a peaceful and magical experience, allowing a person to enter an underwater realm full of beautiful and mysterious creatures. Some are relaxing to watch, such as these little fish, while others are more thrilling to spend time with, such as sharks and stingrays. Most dives last approximately one hour before divers run low on air. The buildup of nitrogen gas in their bodies also limits their time underwater, forcing them to return to the surface to expel the gases. The hour beneath the waves passes all too quickly for most divers and it is with reluctance that they ascend.

Entering this fascinating world is a privilege that only the lucky few ever get to experience. Training and preparation is crucial for safety and rules must be respected in this domain or the consequences can be severe. But done carefully, scuba diving is a safe and rewarding sport.
