Everything happens so quickly that you won’t have time to start worrying.
I couldn't believe that I succeeded in diving and swam with the seals for 10 minutes! I never thought I could start an adventure under the sea before, till my parents took me to the Farne Islands and tried diving there.
We were offered two choices, either wreck diving — to see the wrecked ship Somali, or scenic diving — to have a good time with the grey seals. I chose the second one because it was less challenging and I love sea animals.
Diving turned out to be much less difficult than I had imagined. I just put on the instruments and followed my instructor.
I was a bit scared but my instructor told me to take it easy. At first, I could only see nothing, but when my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I could see deep blue waves moving up and down, and small fishes swimming. Soon we reached the spot, and I could breathe normally.
It was such a wonderful world. Before realizing it, I had been in the seaweed forest surrounded by the young seals. They were eager to get close to me and dance around me. I reached out my
hand to touch one of them. All of a sudden, something big appeared on my right. I turned around and almost got astonished.
It was a huge male seal. I was so scared fearing it would attack me. But it just touched me lightly with its body, as if it wanted to hug me. I put my hands on its back, trying to feel its smooth skin. The world here was so quiet that it felt that time had stopped.
Finally, my instructor gestured for me to go up. When I reached the surface, I had to readjust to the sunlight. What had happened just now was like a dream.
