Scuba Diving
Ah Yin and Chung Chai arranged to travel together to the Maldives for scuba diving in emerald waters under the sheltering blue sky. Although both of them knew how to swim, they had never been trained in scuba diving before. When they learn that such training will be provided at the destination, with a coach to escort them underwater, they felt immensely relieved. Looking forward to their vacation, they had not the slightest doubt whether they were physically fit enough for scuba diving. Rather, their minds had long drifted to the destination, as they imagined themselves to be kissing the fishes and touching the corals under the sea. On the eve of their departures, news reached them about a mishap involving veteran divers, who perished in the deep. Only then did they become alerted to the dangers. They started to wonder how scuba diving would affect them physically and whether they were suited for this pursuit.
