Chapter 99 - 99. Snorkeling In The Ocean

The next day we were ready to swim, it was still early and the sea water looked calm. That's why early in the morning Edwards had taken me on a fishing boat with a villager and we headed a little out to sea, the blue waters and the wind quite calming. Labengki Island is indeed very perfect, especially because it has a group of islands in the middle of the sea and creates a unique panorama.

The snorkeling spot on Labengki Island is quite cool. The spot is not far from the main island where visitors have to use a boat for 20 minutes. local residents also said that the underwater conditions here are quite the champion with all the resources that exist on land or sea are quite beautiful.

There is one more thing that is unique and cannot be found in other tourist attractions. visitors can find one of the largest clam species in the world. Kima is a type of giant clam whose size can reach almost 50 cm. Uniquely, it turns out that Kima on Labengki Island is listed as the second largest in the world. No wonder Labengki is an island that is used as a place for research and conservation. There are also those who call Labengki Island as the Giant Clam Marine Park Reservation.

Not only does it have abundant marine wealth, but there are also fishing spots that will make these tourists feel at home. There are many types of fish that can be caught. For example, grouper, barracuda, tuna to red snapper or sailfish though.

Edwards and I had put on our snorkel gear, and were ready to dive into the water. Edwards looked at the tools I was using, carefully examined one by one and then he gently stroked my head. "Stay by my side, don't walk away." He said in a low voice.

"I'll hold hands with you, I promise I'm not going anywhere." I said, I was already giving the sweetest smile possible. Edwards immediately smiled as well and passionately kissed my cheek.

We were really like young people in love, all of Edwards' attention made me wonder if he also felt a strange euphoria in his heart? as my heart is also warmed by all this incident.

Edwards is really good at making my heart flower, all his attention and adorable attitude, Makes me feel like he likes him even more, at first I just liked his body. But now I'm starting to like everything about him, Even the entirety of Edwards' attitude to his attention. i really like it..

"Why are you smiling to yourself? Let's get ready to go snorkeling." Edwards said, he broke the thoughts in my brain.

I immediately nodded and started wearing my swimming goggles. I didn't forget to hold Edwards' hand tightly. because I'm actually really scared if I have to swim in the middle of the sea like this, I feel too broad and deep. I was afraid that a sea animal would ensnare my feet and drown to death. Isn't that something unreasonable? yes it's true, but I'm really scared.

Edwards reassured me that everything would be fine and that we would be fine. That's why I wanted to be invited to snorkel, especially when Edwards said that he wanted to see the beauty of the sea with the woman he liked, it broke my fear and even made me want to make Edwards want what he wanted.

"Okay Choon-hee, listen to me carefully. Many like to snorkel on the surface and rely on a snorkel or breathing tube. However, some prefer to dive deeper to see the underwater beauty up close. To be able to dive deeper, we need to hold my breath longer because I really want to be able to swim deeper to see all the marine life. So breathe calmly and don't be in a hurry, watch my hand move. If I give you one index finger, then you have to hold your breath for a while. Then when I give you the thumb, then you can breathe slowly again. The better you control your breath under the sea, the longer we can stay in there." Edwards words I listened carefully, I nodded and agreed with what he said.

"I got it. Anything else?" I asked a little enthusiastically, although when I looked a little into the water I felt tense.

"So you don't get tired quickly while snorkeling, learn to save energy. First, just use your feet to swim and let your hands relax. Swimming with frog legs is tiring, but it can help you go faster even without moving your hands. Also, try to always relax during snorkeling. Swim calmly and slowly so you don't get tired and don't miss the underwater beauty that you are enjoying. Avoid panic and tension when snorkeling because these two things are very energy draining. Remember! Don't let go of my hand no matter what." Edwards said very firmly he was really worried I was okay.

"I see. Let's start snorkeling. It's getting hot." I said, Edwards nodded and we started preparing to dive into the water. Edwards lowered himself into the water first, then I slowly descended. for the first time I felt the cold sea water again, Edwards looked into my eyes. "Ready, let's start diving huh." Edwards started to catch his breath and we were already diving into the sea with a slow motion.

My eyes immediately looked at the sea with amazement, seeing the various types and colors of coral reefs. I smiled a little when I saw this, I held Edwards' hand tighter. The more I swam into the sea, the more I could see all kinds of colorful little fish. I can see how the fish swim freely without a burden. I became more and more carried away, feeling carried away by a very calm ocean current.

My hand pulled Edwards's to see some coral reefs that caught my attention, luckily Edwards followed me without holding him back. I really don't feel short of breath or scared. It turns out that snorkeling into the sea is not as scary as I imagined. even i could feel when some small fish circled his face, i couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. all the fish really tasted Adorable and made me want to swim with them again and again.

Edwards gently tugged my hand, he led me to look the other way. We swam The deeper, Seeing there is a type of fish that is quite foreign to my eyes. I looked at Edwards, he just gave a signal through his hand that I was told to calm down. I've been fine since then. Edwards was really worried.

I gave him a kiss on the cheek, then I lightly patted his back.. I wanted to tell him that I was happy and feeling fine.
