A great diving scene. Worth the read just for that:“ Randy! You have the best eyes for bubbles. Find my missing diver.” Paul leaned over the boat and yelled at the people waiting in the water. “Hey! Where’s . .” He examined the faces. It didn’t take long to figure out who was missing. His heart spiraled to his feet. “Oh, no, no, no! ” He didn’t hesitate to jump to action. He yelled out orders as he put his gear on in record time. “Get back on the boat. Now! ” “I see bubbles! Over there, ‘bout fifteen meters, ” Randy called before anyone had a chance to do anything.

He didn’t bother to surface before starting the fastest descent he’d ever made.S. Jackson Rivera
