“Thunk” I opened the heavy oak door leading to the boat. 

Dr.Elston and my diving partner followed me onto the boat. A big 

man came out and said “I’m Captain Jones, we depart in ten 

minutes.” Dr.Elston was yelling “Kaia come on,” then I heard him 

whisper “I don’t wait all day for a marine biologist.” I walked 

along the boat to where we were setting up to go diving. So I set 

up and got into my wetsuit and diving gear. Marie and I walked 

onto the diving area with Dr.Elston behind us. The warm sun 

smiled down on us and the Pacific Ocean or peaceful sea greeted 

us.

Just then Captain Jones thumped out and said “The currents 

strong so look for the bottom of the boat.” I said “Okay.”Then 

Marie and I jumped into the water. I was breath taken by the 

turquoise corraly sea. I've been on diving trips before, but it’s 

always spectacular. Oceans are just so vast; they do take up 

70% of earth. Marie and I started to look for the clown fish. 

We’re capturing videos of their behavior and sending it to 

Dr.Elston. Marie went up to look over the tape while I stay 

down. Then suddenly I looked up and the boat was gone! I 

was as helpless as a snail on a highway. I swam around 

looking for the boat, but then I realized what Captain Jones 

said about the current. It must have carried me away!

I started thinking bad thoughts like getting 

washed up on one of the 25,00 islands in the 

oceans. But I couldn't let myself think like that 

so I felt the way the current was going. I felt 

for the current, and it was strong. I don’t know 

if I’ll ever find the boat! This is the worst thing 

in the world, I said to know one. Just then my 

air was running out. I had to get back soon. Or 

else this might be it for me.
