  • ~ Alien Creatures of the Ocean ~ . . Have you ever seen a Slug this BIG? 😨 Neither had I! This is a Sea Hare, and is one of the biggest slugs in the ocean. It was sweetly camouflaged on the ocean bed when Sarah saw it and scooped it up. I don't think the slug liked that much because it squirted a sort of purple ink, which it generally does when it feels threatened. Btw, when in the ocean, I never touch anything and I don't think anyone should too, unless you are a marine biologist like Sarah, who has been diving and studying these creatures for years, maybe then you could. 🙄 . . . . . #scubadivergirls #scubalife #padi #scubapro #girlsthatscuba #breakwaterscuba #monterey #kelpforest #marineanimals #underwaterphotography #oceanlife #worldunderwater #california #pacificocean #instatravel #gopro #outdoorgirl #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #traveldiaries #nerdyadventuress #adventureblogger #igersofindia #slugs #seahare #marienelife
  • *Exploring the Eerie Underwater Forest* . . 2018 has been one of those years that has left me thinking, "I can't believe I actually did that!!?" . One of the most recent in the list is this. Dry suit diving in the super cold Pacific water to explore the underwater Kelp forest two months back. . . Exploring this ecosystem was so surreal. It was like strolling through a giant rainforest with leaves swaying back and forth, camouflaged creatures looking on, so cold you can feel the chill up the spine and just a few ray of sunlight creeping through the canopy of leaves above.... Yup. Eerie. Yet Beautiful. ❤️ . . . . . . #girlsthatscuba #scubagirl #kelpforest #california #drysuitdiving #pacificocean #breakwaterscuba #monterey #pointlobos #scubadivergirls #scubadiverlife #scubadivingmag @scubadivingmag #scubapro #womenwhoexplore #outdoorgirl #oceanlife #scubagirlsindia #traveldiaries #sheisnotlost #travelstories #uwphoto #underwaterphotography #goproshot #underwater #nerdyadventuress #adventureblogger #underwaterforest #thephotosociety
  • So the first time I walked into the water, taking in my surf board and jumping waves, something brushed against my leg. Now, the water here isn't crystal clear where you can see what lies below. Despite my fear, induced by movies like "Shallow", I knew there were no Sharks here. In fact one of the few ocean creatures I am really terrified of is actually a Jellyfish!! I have been stung once before and it hurt so much and since then I have always stayed away from them. So here I was hoping it wasn't a Jelly. . . As I struggled to fight the waves and shrug this thing off, it kept wrapping around my leg!! It was then I realised, this was something worst than a Jelly........ 😩 . . . . . It was a big piece of PLASTIC bag! 😨 . . I stuffed the piece in my pocket but this happened many times. Underneath the beautiful blue, was plastic, discarded nets and other trash. . ➡️Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. From getting stuck in nets to eating plastic that they think is food, many creatures worldwide are dying from the material we have created. ⬅️ . . Isn't this just SCARY but SAD too? . . . We cannot do away with plastic completely but we all can start making a difference. ❤️ #SayNoToSingleUsePlastic #SayNoToStraws . . . #saveearth #earthneedsourhelp #ourblueplanet #saveourocean #oceanlife #covelongpoint #surfturf #surflife #surfingindia #igersofchennai #instatravel #incredibleindia #indiapictures #indiatravelgram #womenwhoexplore #humansofearth #nerdyadventuress #outdoorgirl #outdoorlife #traveldiaries
  • SUP. SURFING. KAYAKING. Or simply CHILLING! 🤔 . . .

  • Because I was surfing after such a long time, I decided to take some classes. I was half expecting to be alone but surprisingly I had some awesome people in my class. ➡️swipe. . . First, there was this French lady with two really young kids. Despite them being around she took the classes while her two sweet kids played on the beach. Being a Mommy didn't stop her from doing what she wanted to do! 👩‍👦‍👦 . Second, Sabir came alone because none of his friends were interested in surfing. He decided not to wait for anyone anymore and got here. And the best part, he didn't even know how to swim well. God knows where he got the guts to do this. Being alone, and nervous about swimming didn't stop him from doing what he wanted to do! 🏄 . Third, Asma, this young girl came with her mom, dad and brother. When I saw her, I wondered how would she would surf with a hijab on. But this hijabi surfer girl totally rocked it! Being who she is and what people might say or think did not stop her from doing what she wanted to do! ❤️ . And last but not the least, Me. I am actually a Walrus disguised as a human. Can you imagine how difficult it is for a Walrus to get on that surf board??? 😖 Being clumsy and as busy as anyone else, did not stop me from doing what I want to do! 🤙🏽 . . So now tell me what is your amazing "excuse" to NOT do what you want to do? . Because I would love to hear it. NOT. 😑 . . . #EXCUSESDONTWORK . . . #covelongpoint #chennai #surfingindia #surfing #surflife #kovalam #igersofchennai @lbbchennai #storiesofindia #outdoorgirl #outdoorlife #womenwhoexplore #tripotocommunity #goproindia #beachlife #beachbum #surfergirl #sheisnotlost #igersofindia #instatravel #inspiration #indiapictures #indiatravelgram #ngt #desi_diaries
  • 7,500 km long coastline, but just a handful of places where the vibe is something like this.... ❤️ SUN⏺️SAND⏺️ SURF 🤙🏼 . . . . . . . #surfvillage #surfing #beachlife #incredibleindia #covelongpoint #surfturf #kovalam #chennai #surfboard #outdoorlife #outdoorgirl #sunkissed #surfergirl #surfingindia #goproindia #adventure #nerdyadventuress #explore #indiapictures #indiatravelgram #tripotocommunity #igersofindia #instatravel #wanderlust #oceanlover #sheroamssolo #womenwhoexplore #solotraveller
  • From being a poor fisherman who learnt how to surf on his own many years back, to being a surfing champion that he is today, Murthy is one person you cannot miss meeting if you visit Covelong Point. . . Covelong or Kovalam in "Tamil Nadu" is essentially a fishing village, which is now a well known surfing village, all thanks to this man's perseverance. . . It is amazing to see how one man has inspired the youth of his village to bring a change and how this one sport has changed the face of a whole community. . . Today, there are a bunch of teachers in this school, and every single one is a local fisherman, handpicked and trained by Murthy himself. . . A fun bunch of people who really love what they are doing and have fun while at it!! 🏄🌊🌊🌊 . . . . #covelong #kovalam #tamilnadu #surfturf #surflife #surfsup #outdoorlife #inspiration #adventure #goproindia #incredibleindia #storiesofindia #surfingindia #beachlife #surfingworld #igersofindia #desi_diaries #indiapictures #nerdyadventuress #lpi #oceanlife
  • Surf boards are actually Ironing boards who refused to give up on their dreams and decided not to be boring! *Don't be an Ironing Board.* . . He he he ..Am I the only one who found this to be superbly funny? 😂 . So after a long time, precisely 4 years, I got back on a surf board and I was as pathetic as I was then. I spent way more time falling from the board than standing on it. 😑 Nonetheless, to find the joy of surfing again was totally something else. Like they say, the best surfers are the ones who are having the most fun!! 🤙🏼 Hell Yeah!! . . . #surfing #surfingindia #outdoorgirl #covelong #kovalam #chennai #outdoorlife #sheroamssolo #surfturf #surfergirl #traveldiaries #nerdyadventuress #indiatravelgram #beachlife #oceanbaby #tripotocommunity #adventure #gtgi #womenwhoexplore #goproindia
