One of the reasons why I like to sail on boats or ships is because you can see the views from the water, look at something from the other side, not as usual. Usually from the shore we see the sea, but from the boat we see the shore or objects in the sea from a different angle. Like this huge rock and such a small boat next to it, or a boat against the background of not just water, but also the coast.
By water you can get to the picturesque places of the coast, which cannot be approached by land, as here, near this rocky steep coast, densely overgrown with greenery ...
... or look at the beaches, boats and houses against the backdrop of the mountain. We would hardly have come here on our own overland, moreover, most likely this is a closed area for guests of a local hotel. And from the water, we can see the beach and all these houses and their roofs, lost in lush tropical vegetation, without any obstacles. It's interesting, isn't it?
And near this picturesque cliff, which is so different from the rock that makes up the coast next to it, there are several boats and ships â and for a reason. This is one of the popular dive sites where people are brought to dive, and all these boats are now waiting for them. So, having looked at the underwater landscapes, I also managed to shoot the surroundings above the water from the boat. This is not always convenient, since any boat or ship sways a little in the water, but it is worth setting the shutter speed shorter, and you can even shoot panoramas :)

It's better to watch photos in high resolution.
