Water Water Everywhere – Boats
“Water, water everywhere” is a phrase that evokes the image of vast expanses of water surrounding us. It symbolizes the omnipresence of water in our world.
There is a fantastic dive site under these boats.It sustains life, shapes landscapes, and provides a habitat for countless species.
Whether it’s the rhythmic crashing of waves on a beach or the gentle patter of raindrops, water’s ubiquity is a constant reminder of its significance in our lives.

Tubbataha Drop
As I gaze upon this photograph of a single raindrop in the vast ocean, I am struck by the profound symbolism it evokes.
Small and seemingly insignificant droplet represents the individual amidst the sea of humanity.
Even the tiniest actions can create ripples far beyond our immediate surroundings.
The ocean, with its endless expanse and seemingly limitless power, reminds us of the vastness of our world and the interconnectedness of all things.
The raindrop’s journey from the sky to the ocean reminds us of the cyclical nature of life and the constant ebb and flow of our experiences.
It is a picture that inspires reflection and contemplation, reminding us that each moment is precious and that every drop counts.
Water Water Everywhere – S.S. Sapona
The S.S. Sapona was a concrete-hulled cargo steamer built in 1911 by Henry Ford for use in World War I. The ship was intended to transport troops and supplies to Europe. However, the war ended before it could be put into service. Instead, the Sapona was sold to a shipping company and used to transport goods between Florida and the Bahamas.
Bootleggers used the Sapona during the Prohibition era. They transported illegal liquor from the Bahamas to the United States. In 1924, the U.S. government seized the ship and sold it to a salvage company. The company stripped it of its valuable metal fittings. They left the hull to rot.
Today, the remains of the S.S. Sapona rest just off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas. The concrete hull is still visible above the waterline. The wreck has become a popular destination for snorkelers and scuba divers. I dived this shipwreck in 2012.
Over the years, the Sapona has been used for various purposes. These include serving as a target for bombing practice during World War II. It has also been a location for music videos and fashion shoots.
Despite its decay and deterioration, the S.S. Sapona remains an intriguing relic of a bygone era. It has a history as a warship, a cargo vessel, and a tool of the bootlegging trade. This makes it a fascinating piece of maritime history.

Find a Rainbow

The internet tells me today is National Find A Rainbow Day. I didn’t find one today but I did spot one last year on a St. Lawrence River Dive trip. We were diving in between Ontario, Canada and New York, United States.
