Cyprus has frequent periods of low annual rains.One of those years of drought, i visited Yermasogeia dam to see how the bottom of a dry dam looks like. Thousands of dead fishes were lying on the dry surface. I got closer to photograph them, but suddenly i began sinking deeper. There was no counterreaction to my forces to get on surface. Then i had the idea to fold so that I would have larger area against the mad. I stopped sinking untii someone pulled me out.
