Equipment Failure!




Well, today was a breeze..... sort of...

We were doing reef surveys, teaching students how to do Fish ID, differentiate coral etc.

Unfortunately, as I got off the boat, a piece of plastic fell in the water... so I put my fins and mask on, and dove back into the water to retrieve it... Unfortunately, even though I had my hands covering my mask... the water pressure decided to make my mask implode.!

Needless to say I am fine, bar a couple of cuts, and a slightly swollen area above my eye... I think I was extremely lucky not to have come off worse...!!

I assume the smile is the relief that you survived any serious injury...!
