The photo was taken during a dive trip to Moorea, French Polynesia. These dives held several firsts for me. They were my first warm water dives and my first attempt at underwater photography. I also saw my first wreck and swam my first cavern. I wish I'd brought more film. The 'oneness' I felt with the sea is impossible to describe. My most memorable experiences were swimming with dolphins and being surrounded by and actually touching black-tip sharks.
