Can I Meet Melina Velba

Like fish in water!

September 29 a day to remember. After a week about improving the surf and others, I learned to put up with standing on a table we have gone hiking Coiba Island. This island is the heritage of UNESCO and is part of the same mountain chain in the Galapagos and the fate of 4 cats live there, members of ANAM (Autoridad Panama's National Environment).
whole island is National Park Area. So forbidden to hunt and fish! The island has over 17 different species of crocodiles, birds and monkeys are unique in the world with a lard etc of plants and trees unique. We've only gone to spend the day but that day! Roberto's ear has caught both surf and he has been doing snorkeling, following the divers and visiting the island while I was doing dives and dives! Lol!
We have made a total of 3 dives. At first I was almost tachycardias because we were told we would see sharks quite sure and was cagadita for it. But at the moment to jump into the water ... I do not know why but bluff, all my fears vanished. Although the first bug we had underneath was a shark! Aaahhh!
We have seen trillions of fish. There are times when you can not focalizarte in none, you can only be boqueabierta observing everything as if it were a theater. Thousand fish of many colors and sizes thousand each in chirimollos roll. If eating coral, that if the brunette teasing, if one pursues the other, that if a school of fish for a ride, if others approach you cautiously look at you, that if others posing as rocks, corals, etc. I would even say you see the personality each! Some kind, some curious, threatening, timid, proud, sensitive, funny, flirtatious, drawn ... Among them we saw many colorful fish, barracudas, turtles, pipe fish, clown fish, angelfish, frogfish, lobster, grouper, huge , moray eels of various colors and sizes, many different puffer fish and countless fish that do not know their names ... and of course many all white tip sharks. This is a reef shark and does not attack the man, fortunately. The largest of these is 2 meters so that tachycardia expected never came.
had previously dived in coral reefs, but never had done in the open sea. Coiba is in the Pacific and around here spend a lot of marine species that migrate from one place to another following the current. Here there are corals as you dive into rock. That is, are the rocks, we then tooooooodo the Pacific! The truth is that it gives a little juju and also these constantly surrounded by very very big fish!
Among mammals that come over here at this time of year are the humpback whales. They come to give birth and then leave with your baby. We have seen two couples with baby from breast very closely. It puts you goose bumps, especially when you see them jumping out of water, sticking with tail fins and the sea of \u200b\u200bhappiness. In those moments I want to be a whale! Well we were going to go do a dive when we saw a mother and her baby some 50 meters from the boat. Gradually we came to my companion and I jumped into the water to see it up close. Well, I skip a few minutes behind him, to me it's jump in the water without seeing anything down or up I get a little juju. And when you get to where the whale was gone because my friend came too close to it. Joo! But then we started the second dive, with two humpback mothers and their babies to 200 meters ours. An amazing dive with large fish, sharks everywhere and then you see a bank as 200 large fish (like my two open palms together every a) I do not think should not know what is a human and begin to surround the 3 that were. Like a whirlpool going from the bottom to near the surface we are looking at all the fish and us, as well, with eyes wide open we're looking at each other deluded as slowly start to go, now I am playing hand, I turn and I can not believe what I'm seeing. 2 humpback whales!! Mom and baby swim 15 meters as ours. Incredible! They quickly enormeeeees and can only see the whites of her wings away. Were a few seconds but the ones that are very special and not forget. It was a moment, as my friends would say fullness! Then the rest of the dive I was thinking how lucky we are, I was thinking in these 8 months that we were and above all, I want to thank all who have encouraged and pushed us to make this journey without thinking twice: the family, friends etc. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Interestingly, today would be the birthday of my mother ... and I know that through it this day has been one of the most special trip. I feel that accompanies us on this adventure. Not only the diving was incredible, but the dolphins in the morning, the 3 white sand beaches and secluded where we've been, we've seen the crocodile and the sun that has given us today have fact that this site will remember forever.
Within two days after the success of the first diving decided to repeat the session. This time we returned to see almost all the animals above except the humpback whale, but in return we saw a beautiful bank of blankets dwarves (a bit less than 1 meter!) Or call here at school as banks, Electric Rays, wahoo, many turtles green eels, snuppers, butterflys, truiggerfish, bigeye trevally and I did not see it, fortunately, but a bull shark as 2 meters above us swam.
hang some pictures of us and co-diving (the 1st day that are not even 10% of how spectacular this) to you for a few sumerjáis seconds under the water with us. Missing
even underwater photos in them as you hang them. Meanwhile click on the turtle and other pictures appear!

A kiss to all
