Over 10 years ago, I remember rushing to the theater for the opening night of Finding Nemo. It’s a movie I’ve watched countless times both by myself and with my son. Tonight, we’ll be heading to the theater to watch the premier of Finding Dory. The main thing I love about these movies, aside from the endearing characters, is getting to see how Pixar animates our beautiful oceans.
With a planet made up of more ocean than land, its a habitat to some pretty amazing creatures. I’ve always longed to take a dive below and see it for myself. Although I lack the important things to do that, like a dive license and the funds, I have recruited the help of fellow blogger Justin of True Nomads to share where to go for the best diving in the world.
Finding Dory is in theaters now! Go check it out, it’s incredible and timeless!
Meet Justin
Justin is an avid diver and shares his experiences on his blog, True Nomads. He’s been diving all over the world and has a serious passion for what he does:
The day I found out that I love diving, is the very first day I tried it. On that first day I felt comfortable enough to do some exploring, and in that 30 minutes I saw so many weird and alien things, that I had not even seen on TV. That’s when I became a fanatic.
If you’ve spent even a moment on his blog, you’re sure to have seen some of the most amazing sites ever. Getting down into the water is truly an experience that is unlike any other. From the weirdly beautiful creatures to the never-ending blue, there’s something everywhere you look. Diving isn’t always sunshine and rainbows though, as it does take some skills and quick thinking.
The scariest moment I’ve had diving is when my regulator broke when I was at 30 meters, which means you can’t go up. I could only suck in water. I reached for my alternate air source, and it too was broke. It had come apart when I jumped from the boat I think. The closest person was about 100 feet away, and I couldn’t get their attention. I had to make my regulator free-flow the air into the water, while I tried gulping it from the bubbles, until my dive buddy caught up. It was more annoying then scary actually, trying to drink air bubbles rushing to the surface while holding a giant camera rig and swimming toward my buddy.
There are so many dive sites around the world that it can be difficult to narrow it down to one. They all offer something different.
It’s hard to say what my favorite dive site is, there are so many. And each offers different things. But Egypt has always been one of my favorites, specifically The Canyon in Dahab, in the Res Sea. And just so you know, there are many many Nemos and Dorys there (clown fish and blue tangs). Such a great dive location.
With the help of Justin, I’m going to share with you where to go for the best diving in the world.
