The ocean floor beneath me stretched away like an inky dreamscape, sunlight struggling to pierce the cerulean depths. Bubbles, escaping my regulator, shimmered like diamonds against the alien blue, their ascent a silent metronome marking my descent. Weightless, I glided past swaying fronds of coral, vibrant as stained glass under the filtered light. Fish, oblivious to my intrusion, danced in kaleidoscopic schools, scales flashing like scattered jewels. A moray eel, its serpentine form draped across a coral crag, flicked a knowing eye at me, a creature of the abyss observing the curious land-dweller. Above, the surface shimmered, a distant memory, replaced by the weightless, silent world where every breath was a gift and every encounter a marvel. In this watery realm, I wasn’t just exploring, I was becoming part of something ancient, vast, and utterly captivating.
