Sounds of the sea: Listening online to the ocean floor

Wonderful.

If you ever get me talking about scuba diving - and I can talk about it for hours, I love it - I’m likely to bang on about how noisy it is underwater. It never occurred to me that it would be. I imagined a brave new world of totally different sights and bodily experiences but the sound was a complete shock. I can’t really explain it, but I will say that you wouldn’t invite a Parrotfish to a dinner party with the din they make grazing on algae-covered coral.

I miss diving so much. I miss that strange feeling of being tightly enclosed in complete freedom. So if anyone needs an experienced, PADI Advanced Open Water qualified diver for anything - rescuing dogs, locating buried treasure, playing mermaids, fetching you pearls from the deep, anything - let me know.
