Things that make us smile....

What a rainy, windy day it has been! Nevertheless we managed a double dive this morning with John O'Connor, Kevin from Tralee and Mark from England. As I sat on the boat thinking what a grim day to do surface watch, I couldn't believe my eyes - a sunfish waving at me from less than two feet away. As I cautiously approached, thinking it would vanish below as usual, it just kept swimming towards me! For the whole of the rest of the dive it swam towards the boat, then past and back round - always watching me watching him - sometimes raising his head out of the water so I could see his mouth. He was swimming above the diver's bubbles and Mark even had the good fortune to look up and see him when he was on his safety stop. A real treat - I haven't stopped smiling yet!!
