Summer and I are getting addicted to scuba diving. From Sydney we flew to Cairns and spent three days diving off the Great Barrier Reef. The highlight was swimming alongside two beautiful green-backed turtles, the first time we’d seen these animals underwater. This photograph was taken by one of our fellow divers, Don Cantlon.
It was also the first time that we dived without a guide. At the end of our last dive I was heading back in the general direction of the boat, quite happily watching my compass, when Summer tapped me on the shoulder. She pointed in a completely different direction, and then took out a slate and wrote "Are you sure we’re on right side of reef and know where boat is?"
Next time you and your spouse get lost in the car and start arguing, picture yourselves having exactly the same row while 30 feet underwater and running out of air.
