The 12^th

Much thought devoted to human physiology. I’ll design a better human right now. One air duct going from the nasal passage to one lung and the other from the mouth to the second lung. This one alteration making choking on spaghetti only possible if you had an inclination to eating spaghetti through your nose.

Today was by far the most interesting  dive yet, and only due to what was above the surface. Cruising for the North side the sky became filled with cyclones, sometimes four at a time. One touching down 60 metres from the boat, the captain approached it, closing in on only 20 metres before turning away. I wanted to go all in, it was fantastic to stand on top of the bridge when stagnant tropical air suddenly turns chilly, and in gale force as salty raindrops fall from the sky. The clouds returning the sea.

When we returned to the surface the “wind trousers” were gone, a pod of dolphins had taken their place. The lot of us gave chase in only masks and fins. Only two tuna surprises lagged behind to give us cautious inspection.
