Sha' ab Rumi, a dive with lali

 





 I jump into the blue. 















As I go deeper, I watch the bubbles getting bigger on their way to the surface. 

Far from any wall, the sea bottom or the surface, my excitement begins to grow and yet the beating of my heart keeps its usual pace.

I see so many shades of blue, from a light blue to blue-black. And I watch my friends wanting to be fish in search of adventure.

Suddenly, we see elongated figures approaching us. It is what we were looking for, what we were hoping to see. My heart starts to beat harder and faster. I feel the blood running through my veins. The Hammerhead sharks are as curious as us. They appear from the depths in a few seconds and swim around us, forcing us to spin like sea horses on a carousel. Infinite feelings overflow my being. Adrenaline explodes throughout my body.

 I marvel at the smoothness of their movements and the elegance of their bodies. I feel I am not only a part of their world but a part of them. After a few minutes they vanish into the dark. Slowly I return to reality, but I am not the same. I harbor in my soul a new experience, unforgettable and incomparable, having dived with hammerhead sharks.
