“The azure blue turned to black, silently swallowing up the spears of light that etched their way meekly into this world of the deep. [...] Although Will had just started his dive to over 300 feet, which would have him holding his breath for over four minutes, my lungs already burned with an excess of nitrogen, and with a few flicks of my long fins, I returned to the surface of the lagoon that held Dean’s, tucked in from the lapping waves of the Atlantic Ocean, on the wild coast of Long Island in the Bahamas.”
