With snowshoeing season over and spring backpacking around the corner, this is a good time to head south for some fun in warm, clear water!

I returned last night from a wonderful trip to the British Virgin Islands. Spent a week on a sailboat, sailing to four islands, and snorkeling and scuba diving off of two of them. The weather cooperated nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed the warm clear water!! More pics to come! #sailing #ocean #scuba

@TimKStanton wow! Sounds like a great adventure. Can't wait to hear more about it.

Thanks, Brian! And, I caught a glimpse of some of your snowshoeing posts (trip #2) while I was away. Nice! Can't decide which I like more--- winter mountaineering or scuba diving in warm clear water. I think it's a tie for my most favorite. Such opposites, but both special in so many ways. -

Thanks, Annie! I learned the different skills one at a time (sailing, diving, backpacking,....). It got easier to learn the new ones because of the heavy overlap in important things like navigation, trip planning, and safety mindset. -

Two of the islands that I sailed to had small rock islands near them. Once the sailboat was tied up at each main island, I then took the dinghy to the nearby rock island to scuba dive. Here are pics from below the surface as I dived around one of those rock islands. It’s a different world underwater! #ocean #scuba

Thanks Annie! And, interestingly, it was the last pic I took of the trip while scuba diving. Glad I decided to stay under for a while longer to take more pics! -

@hikingdude
Thanks, Franz! I especially like how the sun rays come down from above. Dealing with sunlight underwater is quite a challenge. I normally take the pics with my back to the sun so it doesn’t “white out” the image in an otherwise dark environment. But this one had the sun off to my side and I caught it just right.

@TimKStanton What a strange, alien landscape.

@TimKStanton What a strange, alien landscape.
@jerzone
So true. I feel that way every time I dive. Also a strange feeling emerging back into “our world” above the water surface after each dive. -

It is truly another world down there. I love the feeling of weightlessness, gliding effortlessly over the underwater terrain. -
