Water music always has a soothing effect on the mind and soul. That is why, you find a lot new age music features water as the background for the music. In Feng Shui element, it is good to have a fountain, a waterfall in the house or compound provided it is positioned in the right sector of course.

Now aquariums are a hit with homes and you have aquariums in homes, hotels, restaurants. In some clinical experiments done in mental hospitals, the use of aquariums have a calming effect on the patients, and it also has an effects on autistic children. Interesting studies but still experimenting stage. More studies should be done in these areas involving water element.

The closest thing I have been is to go to an underwater marine park. How do you feel when you are in the tunnel with the sharks, rays and fishes swimming above you? Great isn't it and you don't feel like going out of this world. You feel so relax, so peaceful and free from worry and stress.

This is the very reason, why I am introducing you to the marine life in the seas of Sulu and Celebes. Just at the Eastern side of Sabah, on the northern corner of the third largest island in the world, Borneo, you have great diving sites to see all the rich macro life and great pelagic fishes of the world.Where there are rich macro life, there are also big fishes and you have the best of both world, great beaches to sunbathe in and great waters to explore.

Now , don't take my words for it but then, I won't be writing this if it not true either. The late great oceanographer, Jacques Consteau has dived Sipadan and so have so many others famous divers. They can't be all wrong and a lot of these dive sites are now ranked in the top ten positions in the world and a must see on the wish list of every avid divers.

The underwater world is a completely different landscape. In crystal clear water dive sites such as the one at Sipadan and the surrounding sites, you can see a lot of macro life that you do not see on land. The fans, corals and rocks formation are completely different from the landscape. The colors are a kaleidoscope of a huge range of combination of more than the rainbow colors. You have heard of color therapy and I can understand why divers often came up very relax and calm.

Also, it seems that divers tend to have better observations and this is a good habit to cultivate on land. Divers told me that one has to be extra observant for two reasons. One, if you don't want to miss the details, especially the macro world, you have to keep your eyes wide open but not shut and be on the alert to observe any movement. Some of the fishes like crocodile fish, stone fish are master of disguise and if you are not careful, you will missed them. For reason number two, in the underwater world, you must be really observant not to mistake the fish for a stone or coral. Should you accidentally step on one or touch on one, you are going to have agony pain and worst, the toxins can be fatal if treatment is not on hand. But the benefits and learning out-weights the dangers and if you are careful diver, it is fun and healthy for your mind and body.

Diving is great for motor co-ordination of the limbs and body. And because water has bouncy, the weight of the body is supported by the water and you feel much less weight in water. This gives you a lot of agility in the water than on land and we find that divers tend to have great fitness. Breathing is great for divers and they have to learn to breathe correctly with the oxygen tank. All in all, scuba diving is great exercise for the body, great for the mind and soul and great for knowledge.
