If you were on a boat gliding over these waters, it&#8217;d almost be like you&#8217;re floating in the air. Swimming in these kinds of waters could give one the impression of &#8220;flying&#8221; depending on conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This photo shows some rocks and white sand. Other beaches offer sea vegetation in the distance, along with brightly colored sea life. I remember walking into the water in GITMO and seeing bright colored fishes dart between my legs&#8230; Then seeing schools of blue and yellow fishes swim in a &#8220;ditch&#8221; under me as I snorkeled out into deeper waters.<\/p>\n<p>Now that commercial and meteorological summer has started, here&#8217;s hoping to a fun summer.
