The diving bubble settled onto the ocean floor, sinking
slightly into the sand and sending up an obscuring cloud of silt. I turned the
spot lights on and pointed them into the black depths, straining to see through
the dust storm my landing had stirred up. The disturbed sand gradually settled,
leaving me alone in the still, silent depths. I panned the lights until I saw
what I was looking for, strange shapes sticking up out of the sand. I turned
the key and the engine sputtered to life, filling the compartment with machine noise
and the smell of diesel.
