Colombia is a favorite all ready as everything else I've seen in South America. Arrived in Santa Marta and from there we made our way to Taganga a small beach town. Started my advanced diving course, it was about time, and I'm done. Did three days of diving, Deep dive on 30 meters, aswering questions, playing with the yolk and guessing fruits. Sounds strange to guess what kinds of fruit chopper ( instructor ) was bringing down with him but you loose your colors under water. Not all of course, red, orange are the most common. So a tomato for me turned out to look like a kind of peach. Hum. Navigation dive, you get a compass and have to swim in a square. Easy going. Photograph dive, I was taught to take pictures under water depending on ligth, angle and fishes. Interesting. I went to my old world, forgetting everything doing what I was doing. That could be my future occupation, a under water photographer. Hell yeah. Buoyancy was just a bit more advanced than the open water course. Nothing really special. Night dive, my first, was grande loco, going descend without seeing anything else than pitch black and the light from the other divers. Was even more special because of the strong current we turned out to get. All the fishes gets a brighter color when watching them with a torch. They are sleeping, hunting and just very satisfying to watch. That's the five dives included in my course. I took a wreck dive as an extra one. Going down to 26 meters swimming around a twelve meters drug smuggling boat that's been there for 20 years. We were able to swim inside checking there kitchen and some other opened doors. Even better than my Bali wreck dive. Now I'm a advanced diver, let's see where it takes me. I'm gonna keep enjoying my hammock locking over the beautiful bay of Taganga with a fresh mango juice in my hand. Hey Mate, you got to love life. - You have to die a few times before you could live.
