We had the chance to snorkel with Mohammed’s brother Faisal. I must say I was very impressed.
The man can free dive (breath-hold underwater dive) down to 8 meters. He wants to follow a course to take the 20 meters limit. I really tried to follow him under water but I couldn’t.
He showed us specific spots to find the most beautiful fishes. We had never seen many of the fishes he showed us. We even saw turtles mating and a turtle eating coral!
Then we went looking for oysters with pearls inside. We picked a few ones and pried them open on the boat. The result was unfortunately negative. But the thrill of looking for pearls inside oysters is great though. I felt the same way in
But the real reason I am truly impressed with Faisal is that throughout our snorkeling he carried a bag to remove any plastic objects as he would see. I was totally in awe. What a great man. He loves the sea and wants to keep it clean. I reckon that the earth needs a few million Faisals to turn things around. Maybe there is still hope.
