    Two days ago we took the bus to Maslinica. We spent a wonderful day there in the small bays and of course I wore my goggles to watch the fish.

    When I travel with little luggage like here, I take my goggles with me rather than my diving mask. I even leave my snorkel at home because I have a very good grasp of free diving.

    Unfortunately, I left my goggles there in the bay. Of course, I only noticed this when I got home. I love my goggles, but I have to admit that after 20 years they were very scratched. Nevertheless, I was pretty lost watching the fish without goggles.

    When I strolled to my favorite bay yesterday, I watched the divers from the local diving center unloading their diving boat. Cheeky as I am, I asked the diving instructor if he could lend me an old diving mask for a few days. After I congratulated him on his beautiful wing jacket, he asked me if I knew anything about it. I said I was a cave diver. He gave me an old diving mask and said that I should just bring it back in a few days.

    He didn't want to rent it. He didn't even take a deposit of €20. Aaaaaand... it is pink! Isn't that great? Divers of all countries, unite!
