There's a whole new world down there, much so much prettier than ours..it lacks a certain oxygen though and a twinkling of stars..but it'll hypnotize you and bind you in a spell, and you'd never know how much time you've spent gazing at the bottomless depth, half afraid of the unknown half drugged by its beauty.
One moment you're half immersed in the topaz liquid, gazing at the sky, feeling the sun tear down your skin, and another moment you're face down up to your ears in salt sodden water, the sun doesn't exist, save a few scattered rays that disperse in the waters like stardust, playing on a few colours, vividly brightening the reds and blues of the ocean.
There are no more voices save the splash of water cooing in your eardrums, there is no more life that you're used to seeing. It's something else, an expanse of extraordinary existence where nothing lives like you. Infinite like the sky and more powerful than anything you've ever known. Real as real can be, awe inspiring, incredibly overwhelming and silent..oh so silent.

I'm no oceanic photographer, but how I wish I was..
