Long dives, majestic perch & early blueberries

My girlfriend, my friend and I went to one remote lake for free-diving, which has quite clear water. First I tried to do long dives under 10 meters for practicing, since I’m going to Lofoten (Norway) during this summer. I’m going to fish cod, pollock and maybe some wolffish there, also gather and eat some sea urchins, scallops and brown crabs 😀 If I manage to find any of course. Anyway, the deepest dive today was somewhere in 14 meters, but the longest dive was 2 minutes and 11 seconds in 9.7 meters. I was pretty happy about the dive! 🙂 I also got multiple good photos from majestic perch and I found a big ruffe from the bottom of the lake! And when we landed, I noticed again how early blueberries are. It is only the beginning of July and the blueberries are already edible! Here are the images today, enjoy!

I have done 2 minute dives earlier, but never in 10 meters. 😀

I don’t have any idea what this organism is? When I look at these kinds of fragile, small creatures, I get mesmerized by the fact that these little fellows have their own DNA, metabolism and so on. Can this maybe do its own photosynthesis? Looks pretty interesting!
