My family, my parents, and brother’s family were all scuba diving together. My mom told me to look and there was a lovely, furry marine animal floating by. It rubbed up against me and felt so soft. Then they were showing me something on a type of stage under water. I realized I had not been using my oxygen and felt like I needed to go to the surface. Then I realized all I had to do was breathe through the device to stay under water. So I did and it went smoothly. Then I swam into an area my mom said was off limits so I came back and thought how much things have changed from when I used to scuba dive, when there was no stage or people directing us to certain areas. We used to just go wherever we wanted.
