We'll be the first to admit that we're afraid of deep water. You just never know what's down there, right? But, everyone has to face their fears at one point or another, and if you've been on the fence about scuba diving for a while, let this post be the one to guide to finally do it. These simply amazing pictures of underwater life are incredible, they're so beautiful that they inspired us to face our fears and get our certification.

Once we did, we realized that it wasn't the water we were afraid of, it was the inexperience. Once we finally got down there and realized that it's all part of our world (although it certainly didn't look like it sometimes!) and there was nothing to be afraid of. It was an amazing experience, and we even saw a shark! Yes, we almost peed ourselves, but it became a once-in-a-lifetime story that we'll never forget.

We're not even sure what we're looking at here, but it's super cool! It's so bright and colorful, that's not something you would expect from something living near the bottom of the ocean! It's a completely different world down there, under the sea.

Wow! What a stunning photo. We're getting a stinging sense that you wouldn't want to get too close to that jellyfish, but it sure is beautiful to look at from here. We can't wait to go back and scuba dive again to see more fantastic things like this.
