The place is filled with busy people enjoying the water. While our boat is preparing for the moor. We saw this man getting ready to jump to the sea from this High board.

High board jump to the sea. OMG exciting!

The water is very cool, clear and clean while we get closer. People are required to wear lifevest since the sea water level is 10 to 17 feet deep below reefs.

Boy or Girl

This kid caught my attention. I walked towards her, she looks foreigner at far because of her brown hair and prominent eyes. But when I get closer, her nose explains it all.

Child Portrait

I can’t believe I captured her like that. She’s really curious of what I am doing. I have 55-200mm lens, trying not to get near her because every time I try, she’s splashing me sand with water.

Child Portrait

Such cute kids! Both staring at the kite! I love the water ripples, makes me want to go to that beach again :(

They are so innocent!

That’s all for now, hope you like them. ;)
