"Live the Cover!" Contest: Maldives

Great Travel Moment

I saw this squid while diving one of Curacao's incredible reefs. It was the end of the dive and I had already started to ascend to the surface. On my way up, I heard the divemaster banging on his tank. He noticed this squid and wanted everyone to have a chance to see it. Part of me was so thrilled! This was only the second time I had been in the ocean, and on this dive alone I saw green moray eels, sea turtles, and squid! On the other hand, I was sad that my boyfriend missed out. He became sick before this dive, so the boat left him on shore. I really wished he was there because I knew how badly he wanted to see squid in particular. We've logged about 20 dives since then, but sadly we have yet to see another squid.
