I never thought I could start an adventure under the sea before, till my parents took me to the Farne Islands and tried diving there. We were offered two choices, either wreck diving - to see the wrecked ship Somali, or scenic diving - to have a good time with the grey seals. I chose the second one because it was less challenging and I love sea animals. Diving turned out to be much less difficult than I had imagined. I just put on the instruments and followed my instructor. I was a bit scared, but my instructor told me to take it easy. At first, I could only see nothing, but when my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I could see deep blue waves moving up and down, and small fishes swimming. Soon we reached the spot, and I could breathe normally. It was such a wonderful world. Before realising it, I had been in the seaweed forest surrounded by the young seals. They were eager to get close to me and dance around me. I reached out my hand to touch one of them. All of a sudden, something big appeared on my right. I turned around and almost got astonished. It was a huge male seal. I was so scared fearing it would attack me. But it just touched me lightly with its body, as if it wanted to hug me. I put my hands on its back, trying to feel its smooth skin. The world here was so quiet that it felt that time had stopped. Finally, my instructor gestured for me to go up. When I reached the surface, I had to readjust to the sunlight. What had happened just now was like a dream. Saturday, June 5, clear I signed up for a diving program last week, so I got up early today. All the divers assembled at 8 am. Then we went to the waters around the Farne Islands. I was so excited to see the deep blue sea. Firstly, we visited a shipwreck, the 6,810-ton steamer Somali, which sank in 1941 during the Second World War. The ship rested upright on the sea bed, about 30 metres below the waves. She was so amazing that it looked as though she was about to set sail once again! The second dive was to swim with Farne's most lovely residents, the thousands of grey seals that live on the island all year. I saw the 300kg adult males which were the largest animals in my memory. It looked a bit scary, but the instructor told us they were harmless. Then I saw the young seals followed me among the seaweed forests and schools of unusual fish. In the late afternoon, I finished the diving. Although it was a bit tired, I still think it was the most unforgettable experience. 1. Polish your own diary. 2.
