Bab 461: Chapter 461: First Dive

Freezing lake water was still freezing, no matter how thick the dive suit. I caught myself shivering as I peered through the gloom surrounding me, spotting Anja a few feet away where she gracefully explored the area we'd been assigned, looking more like she belonged underwater than anyone should.

Me? Yeah, no mermaid-like elegance here. I'm sure I was much more floundering fish-out-of-water. I still struggled a bit to control my fins and the work it took to turn, not to mention the silt thickening the water's view to the point I was squinting despite myself. It wasn't helping me see or anything, just a reaction to the reduced visibility caused by the storm. All-in-all, not the best dive I'd ever had.

Right. Because I had a huge list to compare to.
