This is Blue Lagoon, a former limestone quarry fed by a natural spring just 10 minutes outside my hometown. It's run as a private scuba diving school and not open to the public, so I've never been there before. Enter my friend Tara:
She is friends with the people who own the lagoon and invited us to go swimming with her. It was absolutely amazing. The water is alkaline because of all the limestone, so there is no life of any kind. That makes it super clean and clear.
Zig loved it. He paddled around in his floatie, even in the deep water, and kept saying how nice it was that the water wasn't slimy (or snake-infested, for that matter).
So there you have it. You can live in a place your whole life and miss some amazing stuff. There's a moral in here somewhere, I know it.
