Moraira


My daughter and I did a dive with Pete and as a reminder I told him “I don't do caves”. I know that caverns are of his itinerary and usually swim over or around. But this time Pete has a lovely brunette woman named Maria assisting with the dive. As we approached the entrance I chickened out . I saw my daughter go in but somehow I just couldn't follow unless I could see the opening at the other end. Maria came up behind me and gesturing me forward and at the same time assuring me all was OK. This was all done with hand signals. Somehow she communicated to me with her hands and body movements that I had nothing to worry about. It worked. I passed through the caverns guided by Maria feeling as if I had my own personal angel. Unlike cave diving, you always see natural light in cavern diving. A must if you have the opportunity. You won't be sorry. I spent quite a lot of time diving out of Moraira this past year. Generally you are the only ones out at a site.
