You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

Have you already burned your scuba mask? Treated it with toothpaste? Spit in it right before the dive and you’re still dealing with your scuba mask fogging like crazy?? Sometimes, regardless of how old your scuba mask is, you could have problems with fogging underwater. This commonly happens when the water is a bit cooler and your body is exuding heat either from before the dive from warm weather or from exerting energy (exercising) underwater. So, you get underwater and you clear your scuba mask over and over and over again. It keeps fogging up. Surprisingly, there is something you can do about that underwater. Spit in your mask underwater to clear up fogging! Take off your mask and lick the glass before clearing it for perfect viewing once again! It sounds weird, but it works. Come diving with us in Komodo National Park, Indonesia! https://azulunlimited.com/ Find us on Instagram and Facebook: Azul Unlimited
