Do you go diving often?

Yeah, whenever I have time. Not usually in the winter though – it's too cold.

Not usually? So you still go in the winter sometimes?

It's actually pretty warm in the water. It's usually one or two months slower to change than land. Like in December, the water is still in October or November.

That's still really cold! That's when we take out our winter clothes!

Hahaha! The best season for diving is from summer to fall, but the water is super clear in the winter. It's a blue world, so different from land.

A blue world. I'd love to see it.

Do you really want to?

What, you mean actually go diving? Right now?!

Yup! We have a diving course at the shop, so all the equipment is ready.

I don't need a license or anything? I'm a complete beginner.

No, you don't need a license for this since you'll have an instructor with you.

You won't be able to roam free or go too deep, though.

Oh…

Will you be diving with me?

Of course! I was planning on it!

[Fade in/out.]

I've never been in the water with such heavy gear. I'm nervous.

Just relax.

Right… By the way, thanks Kanan. I know you just got back from diving.

Don't worry about it. This is like playing in my backyard.

The ocean is your backyard…

Let's do one last check. How do you breathe?

With my mouth.

What do you do if your ears feel weird?

Hold my nose and blow, but not too hard.

What do you do if water gets in your mask?

Blow air out my nose while holding the top of the mask.

Will you leave me?

No way.

Perfect! Let's go! Entering the ocean of Uchiura!
