Christina and I have started our first PADI Open Water diving session with some theory, then the swimming pool and, at last, one hour in the sea in the beautiful bay of Mahebourg in Mauritius where we were lucky to meet an adult sea turtle and countless fish.
It was an amazing experience.

Started using Twitter way back in March 2007 (17 years ago) and I have nearly 10,000 posts. I do feel it's time for me to start using Bluesky more for obvious reasons. One of them, of course, is to remain sane. That's my wish for 2025: to remain sane.
