Our boat reached the dive point which was Madivaru Corner, famous world wide for Hammerhead Sharks.
The wait was finally going to be over. It was only possible because of my passion for diving and in couple of minutes I was about to begin the dive.
On the way to the diving site, the diving gears were prepared by me as well as my dive instructor and the sun was visible at the time when I took back flip to enter the sea water along with my BCD, mask and fins.
My dive instructor was carrying computer and I asked him to log the details after finishing dive and in couple of minutes I was inside a different world.

The more I was moving to the depth, more layers of nature’s beauty were visible.
Visibility was getting low as we were descending and when we were almost at the tip i.e my maximum depth limit of 18 meters, the visibility was not good and hence we decided to move up so that there is some visibility.
In below video, it can be seen that the visibility was not very good.
But the most exciting part was still to arrive and the name of that guest itself excites hearts of many.
Yes,
It was “White tip Shark”
The name “Shark” itself gives goosebumps but “White Tip Shark” is bit different.
It was morning time, she was bit busy, so she came only for few seconds, just to say “Hi” “Good Morning”.
I felt that her sharp eyes had detected some strangers inside her territory, so she came for inspection. But for few seconds only, I managed to get her glimpse and capture her sweetness.
Next was “Spotfin lionfish” who was busy in her daily routine, unaffected by strangers in the morning.
And then, I could manage to capture an image which was the most soothing for the eyes.
“Anemone clown fish”, this fish drives it’s complete name from the “Anemone” which is a life line for Clown fish. Their colorful appearance looks like a clown’s face paint, so it’s no wonder they got the name clownfish.
A book on marine world says that “The sea anemone and the clownfish live together in a type of symbiotic relationship called mutualism, where both species benefit from the other. The sea anemone offers the clownfish protection and leftover food.”
Just to share with readers:
Anemone is a close relative of Corals and Jelly fish. As can be seen in above image, the clown fish is roaming around Anemone which are like strings.
