“How much farther do you think?” whispered Melinda.

To be honest, it wasn’t much of a whisper.

The boat’s engine and the sound of the ocean spray were surprisingly loud. Add that to the cold air on her ears and Melinda was pretty certain she was yelling. It just seemed quiet compared to all the noise around them.

Teensie swam around a few more times and studied the island rocks around them.

“We can stop here and give it a go,” he said. “We’re close. I can feel it.”

Melinda nodded at her dad and waited as he told Captain Jax to drop anchor. Teensie hadn’t sounded too sure that this was the place, and as much fun as Melinda’s dreams about SCUBA had been, this experience was not living up to them. She hoped they didn’t have to spend too much time in the water.

The rumble of the engines abruptly cut out and the vibrations at her feet stopped. For the second time that day, she felt woozy as the swell of the water pushed the boat and them up and pulled them all down again. The mechanical whir of the anchor settling down to the bottom filled the silence with a quieter creaky rumble.

Once again, Melinda and her father laid out all of their gear and then proceeded to change into it. Her dry hood wasn’t so dry anymore, and her excitement level was low.

When her dad turned to her, he had his respirator already in place and his eyes were squished under his dive mask. He had a smile on his face though so Melinda tried to put one on hers.

They were in Nova Scotia.

On Vacation.

Together.

They were going to go swimming in the ocean and Teensie was going to help them find a treasure. This was supposed to be an exciting experience.

Melinda slipped her feet into her flippers and waddled to where they had been keeping their oxygen tanks.

It was time to jump in.

Again. She took a deep breath.
