One interesting activity that my friend has done is scuba diving. It happened last year. We decided to go Maldives islands because this island is more widespread for its unusual activities and stunning destination. I only saw the above underwater world especially colorful fish, coral reefs and sea turtle from social media. However, I first saw this view. I feel more exciting and grateful. It looked like absolutely stunning. I haven’t yet scuba diving before because I don’t know how to swim well and there aren’t many opportunities especially activities in my country. In addition, I never had the right time and budget for this activity. Moreover, I am planning to learn scuba diving because it’s once in a blue moon activity in people’s lives. Also, scuba diving has always been on my bucket list. I think it’s like peaceful and exciting experience. In addition, it helps to avoid stress and escape the crowded city in my life.
