There were 7 of us. My friends were new in scuba diving, but me and Mike had gained some experience at the Great Barrier Reef back in 2016. Before diving, we had been instructed to swim closer to each other. Two instructors were also with us. I was swimming a little ahead of my friends. When I turned back, I saw that Mike wasn't around. I panicked and looked around. I couldn't see him. Suddenly, I saw a rock. With the hope that he had been having some rest around the rock, I started swimming |
Last week, I visited1 Fethiye, Türkiye together with Lily. We had chosen2 this place on purpose. It was time for us to try tandem paragliding. Though we had been trying3 different extreme sports for almost 5 years, that was a completely new experience for us. It was a sunny Monday morning, and we were getting ready to fly almost 2000 m above the sea on Babadag. We were |
strapped in our little seat of the parachutes that had gone through careful safety checks. Lily was the first. I saw her running towards the edge and paragliding away into the air. Then it was my turn. I found myself in the air just after my pilot had instructed me to run. It was amazing. While my pilot was doing4 some acrobatic movements, I was enjoying the beauty of the breathtaking landscape. The pilot had taken a selfie stick with him and an attached camera was filming all the process. When we landed, Lily had been waiting for me with a big smile on her face. It was an unforgettable bucket-list experience for both of us.
