Undiscovered World

I shiver as I plunge in the icy blue ocean water. I slowly make my way deeper in the undiscovered world that lives below. I take a deep breath of oxygen that comes from the tank on my back and turn to watch the bubbles float to the top of the water, watching them get smaller as they escape from this exciting new world I became a part of. I slowly kick my feet to start my journey forward, I soon come across a coral reef full of so many underwater plants and animals.
I've never seen so many bright colors in one place. Giant starfish cling to the plants, blending in with the colors of their surroundings. I look around and see fish, some of them so silver and shiny I can almost see my reflection in them, others filled with bright colors and dark stripes that wrap all the way around their bodies. I dare not touch anything, for the life here is too delicate to destroy. The only thing that seems remotely interested in me is a giant sea turtle that swims by, staring at me as if he knows I don't belong here. The turtle swims close to me for a short while, wondering what I am and what I'm doing here. I only wish I could hear what it was really thinking, I can only imagine the possibilities. Soon the turtle goes away now uninterested in what I'm doing.
So, I continue my journey. I leave the small coral reef behind to see what lies ahead, no telling what I'll run into. I look up, I love doing this more than anything. I look up and see the light coming in at the top of the water and watch the color slowly fade to a deep blue. Above me I see the see a small community of fish and sting rays slowly swimming past. I turn back around and before I head on I check my watch and air supply, I do not have enough air to go on. I smile because that only leaves me with more questions, I have only seen a small part of this world and I know I will be returning soon. I swim back the way I came, taking a few pictures on my way back. Before I reach the surface I close my eyes, my head comes out of the water and I instantly feel the warmth of the sun on my face. I lift myself out and look below, wondering what else lies beneath the waves and I know I just can't wait to return.
