That is Sharmila swimming up from the boat to the sandbar opposite Mana island. Both of us need to learn swimming. We had a life vest, a noodle and a guide who helped us along!

It did not help that when I jumped into the water, I realized that when the guide estimated about 2-3 feet of water depth (I had asked him), he actually mixed up his units. It was 2-3 meters!

The waters, as you can see was incredible!
