The day was clear, the weather wonderful and I was going to finally dive the Great Barrier Reef for the first time. I'd been in Australia for a few days and finally gotten a little acclimatized to the time change. Being 12 hours out of sync with the world is hard, but this was the right way for me as I'm a night gal. I love to stay up late.
I laid my bag down on the dock and looked around at the boat. Nice, seaworthy, well kept, shipshape. You can tell a lot about a dive operation by the boat and how it's maintained. This one was really nice, a little older, but in perfect shape. The tanks looked like they were used but were in good condition. There were several couples and a number of men. No single women, so I guessed I'd have to buddy with a man. I would have much preferred a woman.
Several of the men were looking me over. I stand 5' 10" and am slender, blonde and have nice breasts I've been told. I slipped out of my coverup and several more heads turned my way. My modest bikini showed off my body without being daring. Oh, well, I guessed I'd have to bear up and have a male buddy.
For those not in the know, every scuba diver ALWAYS has a buddy. It's a good rule in case you get in trouble. You never dive without someone with you. Too many things can go wrong when you are 40 - 60 feet underwater. It can mean the difference between life and death. I've never needed one, but have been on trips where having a buddy meant the difference between someone came up scared, rather than dead.
I looked down the dock again and my heart did a little skip. She came down the dock, carrying her dive bag over her shoulder, a lovely small blonde woman, in a very stylish coverup. Mnnn, I hoped there was no man following after her.
I guessed she was around 5' 5" and just a little over 120 pounds well put together. As she walked her breasts bounced delightfully. She appeared to be having no trouble with her large dive bag and I could see the muscles move beneath her tanned skin. Damn, a really nice package. Short blonde hair was cut in a very fashionable style. This lady had class with a capitol C.
She came to the boat and set her bag down and looked around. She said "Hi" to several around and they called her by name. Karen. Nice name.
She looked at me, and smiled, a lovely captivating smile. She had an oval face with good bone structure. I really liked the total, sexy package.
"Hi, I'm Karin, with an I," she said smiling at me. I smiled back. "Want to be my partner?" She asked. She leaned closer, and dropped her voice a little, "I'd rather buddy with another woman, but don't tell these macho guys that! It would hurt their feelings!"
I loved her accent and immediately knew she was a native Aussie. I had found them to be friendly to a fault, and absolutely loved the accent. I smiled back at her, she said later, my face lit up when I talked to her. "Well Karin with an I, I'd love to. I'm Tina with an I too. As you might have guessed, I'm from the States. I would love to buddy with you."
She slipped off her coverup, folded it and put it in a separate bag. Bending over to stow it away, gave me a good view of her superb breasts, now barely covered by her stylish bikini. It wasn't cut low, but her full breasts filled the cups delightfully. Not quite a D cup, probably a full C cup. I seem to always notice that in another women. She caught me looking and smiled. I probably flushed a little. The deep cleavage looked inviting.
We got our gear stowed; the boat soon slipped her lines and headed out to the reef. Karin with an I, and I talked going out. I couldn't help liking her. She was a lovely person and I noticed her blue-green eyes kept going to my breasts as I moved, and lower to inspect my thighs and the line of my pussy. I keep my pussy bare, and as we sat, my bikini bottom managed to pull up just a little and delineate my pussy very explicitly. I couldn't help but notice hers was doing the same thing and my clit got a little hard when I noticed the line of her pussy well shown by her bikini bottom. Damn what a sexy lady!
As we got out further, we donned our wet suits, helping each other into them. We both managed to touch the other several times while we slipping into them. Accidental? Not on my part, maybe on hers. When the boat dropped anchor we had only to slip on our tanks and we were both ready. We gave each other one final inspection and dropped into the clear wonderful water. The visibility was over 100 feet and the reef was incredible. Exotic tropical fish were everywhere.
Karin led as she had been on the reef many times and showed me the wonders of "her" reef. She swam with the grace of a mermaid and I kept looking at her rubber-covered crotch and wondering if she liked women the way I did. We held hands some of the time and I liked that. We wore gloves, but the fact that we were holding hands was nice.
The time went too fast and our air pressures dropped. We went topside and rested a little, drank some liquids to keep from dehydrating. The air from the tanks has no moisture in it, and sucks the moisture from your lungs. Karin was a delight to talk to. We sat on the stern and were the only ones back there. She has a wonderful sense of humor and with her Aussie accent, had me in stitches. She loved my Southern drawn too. I was the first American she had ever met from the Deep South.
She looked at me. "I keep getting some very intimate looks from you. I hope you won't be offended by the question but, - do you like woman?" Her lovely greenish eyes sparkled, had they been blue-green earlier?
"No, you didn't offend me." I laughed. "Yes, I've been looking at you and wondering the same thing. I do like women. I'm married and consider myself bi. My husband knows and thinks it's great. I don't fool around with men. I tell him all the intimate details of my lovemaking with the women and it gets us both hot."
"Mnn, I like that. Thank you for being so frank with me. I'm married and bi also. My husband's doesn't know, or approve. We had a woman friend who left her husband and ran off with her girlfriend. He's afraid I'll do the same thing. I enjoy being with a woman and he can't understand that." She said laying her hand on mine.
I turned my hand over and held hers. It was cool from the water and holding a cold soft drink. I didn't care. I wanted this small sexy lady. We talked for a while then donned our gear, and went down for our second dive. She led again and we looked around and there were no other divers in sight. She pointed to her mask and slipped it off. I thought I knew what she wanted and slipped my mine off to. This is something you learn early in your scuba diving lessons, how to take your mask off and your mouthpiece out underwater.
She pulled me close and pulled her mouthpiece out and I did the same. We kissed 6o feet down in the clear, cool water. Her lips were cold and mine were too, but that didn't bother us. We slid out our tongues and our mouths opened and met and twined. For you uninitiated, yes it can be done. It's a trick you learn.
I had never kissed like this before and found it was wonderful. I felt a slight pressure at my crotch and put my hand down and found her hand cupping it. I laid my hand over hers and pressed encouraging her. Her tongue was hot and skilled and she really knew how to use it. The kiss went on till we ran out of breath and had to put out mouth pieces back in. We donned our facemasks, purged them and gave each other the OK sign. I could see her lovely eyes squint and knew she was smiling around the mouthpiece the same as I was.
I pulled her to me and hugged her. There is almost no actual physical contact when you are wearing all the gear, and wet suits, but we both enjoyed the thought behind it. Releasing me, she turned a little flip in the water and rolled like a seal having a good time in the water. I laughed so hard I almost lost my mouthpiece and did a little roll myself. We swam playing tag and doing acrobatics under the blue sparkling Australian waters. We explored the reef together till our air pressure dropped to the safe limits. We went up in stages looking at our dive computers to make sure we didn't get the "bends."
On the way back in we stowed our gear. I wondered how we were going to get together. She solved it. "Would you like to come to my house and have dinner? My husband is out of town on business. I just happen to have two tender steaks marinating and we can grill them. I really would love for you to come - an Aussie welcome. A home cooked dinner instead of the hotel fare?" She said laying her hand on my thigh and squeezing it slightly.
I covered her hand with mine and pressed it against my thigh. "God, yes. I was wondering how I could, would get to see you more. Of course, the food is wonderful in the hotel, but I'm ready for a good home cooked meal and perhaps a delightful desert "Aussie" style after." I said leaning close to her.
She laughed out loud, a delightful full throaty laugh. Some of the men looked over at us and smiled, wondering what the joke was. If they only knew!
Soon, I was following her car in my rental, as she led me to her home. She took me to a beautiful neighborhood full of obviously expensive large houses. I was impressed when we pulled into the driveway of her large stately home. She asked me to get my scuba gear and we'd wash it off.
She led me around the back and we laid our gear out on the concrete beside a large swimming pool. We both slipped out of our cover-ups and laid them aside while we hosed off our equipment and wet suits. We washed the salt water off of our gear, and laid it out to dry, a necessary step to keep down corrosion.
