Diving for Pearls

You take a deep breath, letting the air fill every crevice of your lungs. Holding your breath now you dive. Your body cuts through the water like a warm knife through butter. Deeper you dive. With your eyes wide open you see everything around you in shimmering blue green…

Describe what you see and hear as you journey down into the depths of the South Sea waters to reach the prized pearls. What does the shell of the oyster feel like? What colour are the pearls? What creatures do you see around you? What does the plant life look like?

Finally, write about how your body feels as you surface.
