For the next four days, Emely and I swam with the manta rays every morning. Pops took us out in his fishing boat twice, and each time I secretly called the rays in with Nan’s bottle.

Whenever Pops went in to town, we would zoom out to sea. I’d practise the Flying Pizza Flop with Freckles, flapping my super-rubber arms. I almost managed to get air once!

Freckles was an expert, and a good teacher too. I was sure I’d land it the next day, but when I woke up, something seemed wrong.

I didn’t feel right. Perhaps it was the fish curry I ate the night before? Sally had brought it over for us. I decided to skip breakfast and head down to the beach anyway. Freckles would be expecting me.

The emus were back and Emely wanted to take more photos, so I went to the beach by myself.

It was windy and sand stung my face. Waves crashed over one another. I knew it was going to be a rough swim.

Once I’d fought my way through the breakers I dived down below. The visibility wasn’t good, but it was much easier swimming beneath the angry surface. Thanks to my fish powers, I could stay under the whole way out.

After I’d passed the sanctuary I finally came up for air. As soon as I reached the surface, waves tossed me around violently. I dived back under, then got Nan’s bottle out of my wetsuit and rattled it.
