A meditative immersive experience of sea-view, underwater, landscapes and wave soundscapes in Mediterranean.  The more you see and hear repetitive patterns and sounds, the more you start observing micro-details. It is also fine if you just lie down and eventually fall asleep. It is a break from the constant talking and stress to not keep an awkward silence with your surrounding people. No need to share on social media. These places deserve to remain anonymous. You deserve to enjoy the silence.
