Ohhh, Johanna!! YOU and your GORGEOUS fish!! 2 questions: 1) do you deep-sea dive? and, 2) are you a Pisces? ADORE this AMAZING capture with its almost other-worldly creatures and colours!! BRAVA!! LF

Thank you. Yes I have 2 certificates in open water diving. I dont deep dive anymore, due to my other ear getting a bit damaged at one deep dive. I do freediving and snorkelling. AM I Pisces? You mean horoscope? ;-) No I am not.
